Strong Vs Valif Agruments

A strong argument is an argument that has good reason behind it. In order to determine whether an argument is valid strong is to have the conclusion follow the premises. . The premises have to be more probable than the conclusion of the argument in order for the argument to be considered to be strong.


An example of a strong argument is "The store, Jessica McClintiock only sells dresses because everyone I have seen or talked to buy only dresses from there. Therefore Jessica McClintock does not sell clothing that is not formal dresses." This is an example of a strong argument because the conclusion follows the premise. The store, Jessica McClintock does not selling other clothes like jeans, or shirts because the story is mainly formal dresses for young women.

An example of a valid argument is “Beth said she got an A in English class. I believe her because all her tests were A’s and she always turned in her homework on time. So she really did get an A in English class.”
