The Instructions:

Determine whether the following arguments are inductive generalizations or analogical arguments. Identify the sample, target, property in question, or, for analogical arguments, identify the analogues (the sample and target, also called the terms of the comparison), the basis of the comparison, and the feature in question. Also identify any inductive fallacies from Module 4 (if there are fallacies, explain your reasoning).

5. Mr. Al C. Holic reads a report in the newspaper that a daily glass of wine or two might be good for the heart, so he decides to get hammered. "Why in hell not," he says. "If one glass of wine is good for you, then surely five or six is really good for you!"

6. Overheard: "You don't think this country is in a slump? Get real. George here was laid off before Memorial Day, and Howie's wife and a whole bunch of other people lost their jobs when the Safeway over on Jeffrey closed down. These are tough times."

7. Fewer than 20% of college professors think of themselves as shy, according to a new study by two psychologists. "We were surprised by this result because other studies have reported almost 50% of adult Americans think of themselves as shy, said Jane Smalley, professor at Chico State University. "College professors are sometimes considered an introverted group and so we expected perhaps a majority to think of themselves as shy," she said. Smalley and her associate John Mason interviewed 150 college professors who were identified by their deans and other administrators at 25 American universities as "typical" faculty. The universities were selected by a random procedure from a list of American colleges and universities.
