The 2 examples below contains inductive arguments.

For each example. identify:

1. The Premise
2. The Conclusion (May be implicit)

Then, for each examples, state a fact, if known, would make the inductive arguments in the examples stronger, and state a fact, if known, would make the inductive arguments in the examples weaker.

Example 1

Dave and George, the teenage perpetrators of the ABC High School massacre, were ardent fans of the violent video game, Doom. And, there is documented evidence that several other mass murderers grew up playing violent video games and remain addicted to them well into their childhood. It follows that parents should prevent their children from playing such games.

Premise:

Conclusion:

Fact (stronger):

Fact (weaker):

Example 2

Students in MBA programmes at ABC and DEF universities study the same curriculum. They have equivalent internship opportunities and equually active career care centres. So, one would expect employment rates for ABC and DEF graduates to be similar.

Premise:

Conclusion:

Fact (stronger):
