To be a valid syllogism, the conclusion must be proven by the reasons. Carefully study the following syllogisms and decide if they are valid or invalid:
Systematic Reasoning-- Reasoning in a formal way
Translate the following arguments into syllogisms (paraphrasing when necessary) with the major premise first, followed by the minor premise, and ending with the conclusion:
1. All music is organized, some sound is organized, and so some sound is music.
2. No coal mine is s
A: All artificial satellites are important scientific achievements; therefore some important scientific achievements are not US inventions, inasmuch as some artificial satellites are not US inventions.
B: No stubborn individuals who never admit a mistake are good teachers, so, because some well-informed people are stubborn
Identify an example of an enthymeme you encountered this week in the media or in a conversation.
- Create a syllogism based on the enthymeme.
- Determine whether the syllogism is valid or invalid and explain why.
- If invalid, identify the reasoning error that is present in the syllogism
1. Is this syllogism deductive or inductive? Why?
2. Is the syllogism deductively valid? Why or why not?
3. Identify the premises and the conclusion for each syllogism.
4. Provide a conclusion to Syllogism 4 that makes it a deductive syllogism.
Your response should follow these guidelines:

SYLLOGISM VALIDITY TESTING EXERCISE
To be a valid syllogism, the conclusion must be proven by the reasons. Carefully study the following syllogismsand decide if they are valid or invalid:
1. All zebras are striped animals.
No zebras are polar bears.
Therefore, no polar bears are striped animals.
2. All clowns are fun
Inputs Xi and Yi of each full adder in an arithmetic circuit have digital logic specified by the Boolean functions
Xi = Ai
Yi = B'iS + Bi C'in
where S is a selection variable, Cin is the input carry, and Ai and Bi are input data for stage i.
(a) Draw the logic diagram for the 4-bit circuit, using full adders and
Question: The outputs of two "NAND" gates are connected to the inputs of an "Exclusive Or" gate. Each of the "NAND" gates has one input at a logic high level, and the other input at a logic low level. What is the output of the "Exclusive Or" gate?
