Inductive Strength

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

An inductive argument is strong when true premises make the conclusion probable, weak when they don't. Strength comes in degrees.

Show

10,000 black ravens: strong. Three black ravens: weak. Same form, different strength.

Watch for

Unlike validity, strength is a dial, not a switch.
