Textbook Question
Chapter 3.4, Problem 46E
We have emphasized that the form of a logical argument is more important than its content. Recall in Example 2 that you saw an argument that sounds reasonable, yet has an invalid form. In Exercises 43-46, refer to the tables on page 121 that show forms of some standard valid and invalid arguments. In each exercise, explain your thinking. Try to make your examples interesting by referring to topics currently in the news.
46. Write an argument that sounds unreasonable but has a invalid form.

For unemployed persons in the United States, the average number of months of unemployment at the end of December 2009 was approximately seven months (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2010). Suppose the following data are for a particular region in upstate New York. The values in the first column show the number of
months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons.

- West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation, with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year.

The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year.
