Argument: a group of statements in which the premises (facts) are intended to support another of them (the conclusion)
Example of argument: No one can receive an NYU degree unless he or she has paid tuition to NYU.Shoeless Joe Jackson received an NYU degree. So, Shoeless Joe Jackson paid tuition to NYU.
If-then statements: if the conditions are true, the statements following the then will occur.
1) so is an if-then statement an argument?
2) if you rearrange the argument to: if joe jackson receieved an NYU degree, then joe jackson must have paid tuition to NYU. is there a definite conclusion and facts supporting to that?
