What type of error, if any, occurs in the following deduction? all people who work do so in an office, at a computer. bill works, so he works in an office, at a computer a. b. c. d. a false generalization an invalid counterexample an error in deductive reasoning there is no error in the deduction.

A. a false generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

All people who work do so in an office, at a computer. Bill works, so he works in an office, at a computer.

This is false generalization.

A false generalization is a mistake that we do when we generalize something without considering all the points or variables.

Like here, if people work, that does not generally means they always work in offices and work in front of computers.

There are many professions like various sports, civil engineering, police patrolling etc that cannot be done while sitting in an office and in front of a computer.

Hence, option A is the answer.

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
