Major scientific discoveries have resulted from accidents that just happened to be given close attention by someone who was both a curious skilled observer and an inductive thinker. This quote from the text is illustrated in the text by
a. The story of the invention of buttermilk.
b. The story of the discovery of penicillin.
c. The story of the invention of safety glass.
d. The story of the invention of photocopying.
Question 2
Induction uses the sciences of statistics and probability to gather, organize, interpret data, and make predictions with these data. Which of the following rules assure the reliability of conclusions drawn from statistical samplings?
a. If statistical evidence is offered, it should be offered in sufficient detail to
permit verification.
b. The greater the size of the sample, the greater is the probability that that
sample is representative of the whole population.
c. The more representative the sample is of a population, the more likely it is
that accurate conclusions can be drawn about the full population from the
sample.
d. All of the above.
