Question

would this be i work fast?

The faster I go, the more mistakes I make. I make a lot of mistakes. @jim_thompson5910

Answer 1

So you're still deriving a conclusion right?

Answer 2

thats true.

Answer 3

its like the last question

Answer 4

Assume that the given statements are true. What conclusion, if any, can be drawn from these premises

Answer 5

Consider this similar example


If it rains, then it is wet outside
It is wet outside


Can I conclude that it must've rained (or it's raining)? The answer is no because other things can make it wet outside (like a hose)

Answer 6

So just because you make a lot of mistakes, it does not mean you work fast.

Sure if you work fast, you'll make a lot of mistakes, but it doesn't work the other way around (since other things may be the cause of your mistakes)

Answer 7

you point please.

Answer 8

now wait, im confused again

Answer 9

working fast isn't the only thing that causes mistakes, agreed?

Answer 10

yea

Answer 11

So if I told you that I made a mistake (or I am making a mistake), then can you conclude I'm working (too) fast?

Answer 12

no working fast can mean a lot of things. i personally think if work really fast then i tend to stress and that leads to silly mistakes.

Answer 13

No conclusion can be drawn.?

Answer 14

that's true hal_stirrup, but it's slightly different than what you're saying

I'm basically saying that there is no way to conclude that you're working fast if you know 100% that you make mistakes

Answer 15

you are correct hali12

Answer 16

no conclusion can be drawn

Answer 17

Answer 18

maths is not a race but an art of thinking with logic and good reasoning.
