Statistical arguments are found in many aspects of our daily lives for example sports fans, doctors, scientists, etc.

A personal example I have for statistical syllogism arguments is the following:

90% of Joe’s biological family has high blood pressure.

Kayla is Joe’s biological daughter.

Therefore, Kayla has a 90% chance of having high blood pressure.

I feel this is a strong inference for a statistical syllogism argument because family medical histories can be documented as well as blood pressure being taken or monitored. According to the textbook the example of:

X% of S are P.

I is an S.

Therefore, I is (probably) a P.

Inductive Generalizations are an argument that information is taken from a trial period of testing.

25% to 35% of your total daily calories should be good fats from fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.

Therefore, 25% to 35% of good fats are from fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.

(Know Your Fats, 2014).

This I feel is a strong argument because the American Heart Association is an authority on fat guidelines for healthy Americans. A sample testing form according to the texts looks like this:

X% of observed Fs are Gs.

Therefore, X% of all Fs are Gs.

Finally a Random Sample which gives a population of a location.

Almost everyone at the Vending Warehouse cleans their shoes before walking on the new carpet.

The receptionist reminds the movers to clean their shoes before walking on the new carpet.

Therefore, almost everyone at the Vending Warehouse cleans their shoes before walking on the new carpet.

I work in a Vending Warehouse and I constantly have to remind the Movers to clean their shoes. It is a pretty strong argument because there are camera’s everywhere.
