Inductive and Abductive Reasoning, assignment help

Generalinstructions:1) Select two arguments (from e.g. op-ed pages of anewspaper, or from some other source  ofyour choice) that you take to contain inductive or abductive reasoning(according to guidelines in #2).  Include a copy the text of the argument with yoursubmission (just copy and paste the text of the argument(s)), and a source ofthe argument. Feel free to use the sources that you used for thefirst homework assignment. If you usethe video clips as your source, please transcribe the argument that you take tocontain a fallacy.2) Please complete two of thefollowing three sections (a, b, c, or d).NOTE: you may not turn in twoversions of the same section.For extracredit:complete the other two sections, for another 10 points each; the extra creditpart may not duplicate an item that you completed for the regular assignment.  (a) Enumerative induction: Find an argument that usesenumerative induction to establish its conclusion. Questions for the analysis: Identify thesample group and the target group. Is thesample size adequate? Is itrepresentative of the target group? Ifnot, is it biased? Non-random? Self-selected? Explain the deficiencies of theargument. How strong is the argument? (b) Analogical induction: Find an argument that usesanalogical induction to establish its conclusion. Questions for the analysis: What are the thingscompared in the analogy? Are theyrelevantly similar? Are theydissimilar? How many instances arecompared? How diverse are thesecases? How strong is the argument? If the argument is weak, can you think ofways to strengthen it?(c) Causal inference: Find an argument that makes acausal argument. Questions for analysis:Does the inference use one of Mills methods?Are all the relevant factors properly identified? Is the alleged causal connection due tocoincidence? Temporal order? Are the cause and the effect properlyidentified? How strong is the argument?(d) Inference to Best Explanation (aka. abductivereasoning): Find an argument that employs abductive reasoning (for examples,see the notes for Lecture 18). Questionsfor analysis: Is the explanation (hypothesis) consistent? Does it satisfy the criteria of adequacy (on allfive points)? When you apply the TESTprocedure, what alternatives are considered?3) Turn in your typed analysis. Using the standard formatting (12 point font,double-spaced), your answer should take about a page (ca. 300 words) for eachsection. Please indicate the answers byheadings/titles. There will be a dropbox on Blackboard for you to submit your answer. 4) You may turn in this assignment in parts (i.e., if youcomplete an analysis on enumerative induction, you may turn it in beforecompleting the rest of the assignment).If you do this, please turn in a hard copy (or send your submission tothe instructor as an e-mail attachment); Blackboard will allow you to submitjust one file.
