You come home one night to find your apartment door unlocked and the apartment in a state of complete disarray. Since you left it in good condition, you assume that your roommate, who has a tendency to be messy and inconsiderate, has yet again made a mess and not bothered to clean it up. You know that if your hypothesis is correct your roommate must have come home at some point after you left. You find that the coat he was wearing when you dropped him off at work this morning is now hanging in the closet, indicating that he has indeed been home since both of you left the apartment this morning. From this evidence, you conclude that there can be no other explanation for the mess. Which of the following accurately describe the connection you make between your hypothesis and your evidence? Check all that apply.

a. You are committing the fallacy of affirming the consequent.
b. You are claiming that, because several implications of your hypothesis are true, your hypothesis itself is also necessarily true.
c. You are formulating your hypothesis from the evidence at hand, which is an infallible way to arrive at a conclusion.
d. Since your roommate is messy, your hypothesis is undoubtedly correct.

The police of a resort town discovered that a well-known cat burglar was currently living in town under an assumed name. to try to catch her in the act of burglary, an undercover officer approached the burglar with a plan for a burglary. the undercover officer told the burglar that he knew who she was and that he had a plan to steal jewels from someone staying in one of the town's resorts. the burglar initially refused the offer; however, after lengthy cajoling, she finally agreed to the plan. as the time for the burglary drew near, the burglar had second thoughts. three hours before the theft was scheduled to take place, the burglar called the police and told them of the plan. she told them that she was not going to show up, but that her cohort (the undercover officer) would be there, and told them how to recognize the undercover officer. is the burglar guilty of conspiracy at common law?
