Zia has taken seven courses at Harvard, and so far she has a grade average of C. All the courses she has taken have been in philosophy and religious studies. She's thinking of enrolling in another course next term, and she expects to make at least a C in whatever subject she takes. Would her statistical syllogism be stronger, weaker, or unaffected if her previous seven courses had been in four different subjects rather than two?

a. Stronger
b. Weaker
c. Unaffected

Answer:

Stronger

Step-by-step explanation:

The statistical syllogism is also called a non-deductive syllogism. This process argues in using the inductive reasoning for generalization. It is true for a particular case.

This procedure used the syllogism like most, frequently and never and rarely. It has its statistical generalizations it has one or two premises.

Premises is a generalization and argument that is used to conclude the generalization. Premises can be true and the conclusion can be wrong but it happened rarely.

Thus Zia has used here statistical syllogism for different subjects.
