confidence level
Confidence level. p.343 Moore & Parker (8th edition)
Confidence level is a statistical measure that indicates the likelihood that a conclusion is true. It is expressed as a percentage, where a higher confidence level indicates a greater probability that the conclusion is accurate. A confidence level of 95%, for example, suggests that there is a 95% chance that the conclusion is true.
Arguments can have any number of premises, ranging from zero to an indefinite amount. However, arguments typically contain two or more premises to support a conclusion. The strength of an argument depends on the quality and relevance of its premises to the conclusion.
The categorical fallacy is a mistake in logic where the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises. It impacts logical reasoning by leading to faulty conclusions and weakening the strength of arguments.
Inductive arguments are those supposedly supported by good, but not conclusive, evidence. The idea of conclusive or demonstrative evidence goes with deductive arguments, whereas the idea of less than conclusive or demonstrative evidence goes with inductive arguments. Inductive arguments are based on probability; if the premises are true, the conclusion is probably true.

A statement is valid if its logical structure is such that the conclusion necessarily follows from the premises. In other words, if the premises are true, then the conclusion must also be true. Validity is a key concept in logic that helps determine the strength of arguments.

An argument can move from a specific premise to a specific conclusion by providing detailed evidence or examples to support the specific claim. On the other hand, an argument can move from a general premise to a general conclusion by making a broad assertion based on the general principle presented. Both forms of arguments can be effective depending on the context and the strength of the premises.
