Question 1

What defines a deductively valid argument in formal logic?

If all the premises are true, it is impossible for the conclusion to be false. The conclusion is likely to be true based on strong empirical evidence. All the premises and the conclusion are empirically proven to be true. The conclusion contains completely new information not implied by the premises.

Correct Answer:

If all the premises are true, it is impossible for the conclusion to be false.

Question 2

Which condition must be met for an argument to be classified as sound?

The argument must be deductively valid AND all of its premises must be true. The argument must be inductively strong AND contain at least three premises. The argument must contain only synthetic a posteriori statements. The conclusion must be accepted by a majority of logical experts.

Correct Answer:

The argument must be deductively valid AND all of its premises must be true.

Question 3

How does an inductively strong argument differ from a deductively valid argument?
