Question 1

Premises: All mammals have hair. Whales are mammals. Dolphins are mammals. Bats are mammals. Some mammals live in water. Some mammals fly. 1. Whales have hair 2. All animals with hair are mammals 3. Some flying animals are mammals Which conclusion is the WEAKEST (most/least strongly supported by the premises)?
The weakest conclusion is: 'All animals with hair are mammals' because The premises don't state this; other animals (e.g., some reptiles) could have hair.

Question 2

Premises: In a study of 10,000 people, 95% who exercised daily reported better sleep. 80% who exercised 3-4 times weekly reported better sleep. 30% who exercised rarely reported better sleep. Sarah exercises 5 times per week. 1. Sarah definitely has better sleep than someone who never exercises 2. Sarah is more likely to have better sleep than the average person 3. Exercise improves sleep quality for most people Which conclusion is the STRONGEST (most/least strongly supported by the premises)?
The strongest conclusion is: 'Exercise improves sleep quality for most people' because Large study shows clear dose-response relationship across population.

Question 3

Premises: All mammals have hair. Whales are mammals. Dolphins are mammals. Bats are mammals. Some mammals live in water. Some mammals fly. 1. Whales have hair 2. All animals with hair are mammals 3. Some flying animals are mammals Which conclusion is the STRONGEST (most/least strongly supported by the premises)?
