Question 1
pts
What is meant by “the null
hypothesis”? Your Answer:
The null hypothesis refers to an empirically tested hypothesis that
two events are only related by random chance, no other relations.
Question 2
pts
How do we evaluate
empirical reasoning? Your
Answer:
The main way to evaluate empirical reasoning is by utilizing the
four tests of evaluating arguments (Test of truthfulness, logical
strength, relevancy, and non-circularity). Of course, if the
empirical reasoning fails any of these tests, there is also
independent investigators that can come in and extend the study
to evaluate it. Lastly, empirical reasoning can be evaluated

Question 3
pts
We learned four tests for evaluating arguments: truthfulness of the
premises, logical strength, relevance, and non-circularity. How well
do these tests work with respect to evaluating comparative
reasoning? Consider each of the four tests.
Your Answer:
According to the textbook, the four tests for evaluating
arguments are not the best when evaluating comparative
reasoning. In the case of the first test, using the terms "true" or
"false" do not provide enough clarity for evaluating comparisons,
which are the two main terms used in the first test. In the second
test of evaluating arguments, there are too many cases where
points of dissimilarity and similarity are both shown. Therefore,
the second test does not work well with respect to evaluating
comparative reasoning. The third test is not appropriate for
evaluating comparative reasoning either. Because of how the
analogies are worded in comparative reasoning, it is up to the
maker of the analogy to explain how the comparison is relevant.
Lastly, in the case of the fourth test, it does not work either. In
comparative reasoning, there is something unfamiliar. If
