Question

1. We often use empirical generalization when meeting a new group of people. Describe a situation when you used empirical generalization to draw conclusions about a large group based on meeting just a few people.
2. What did you conclude? On what was your conclusion based?
3. How accurate was your reasoning? How would you revise your initial conclusions now?

Answer 1

Empirical generalization refers to an assumptions made on a large group based on an experience with similar smaller group .

There are many situations which can be dragged to an conclusion with the help of empirical generalization for instance a candidate who has been enrolled in first year medical college seems to stick to certain quality like the hard work and toiling done  by them to get a seat and how they are different from others Seeing these qualities it can be made assumptions that all medical college candidate in their first year have a pride of getting entered into a course which is going to serve mankind .

The conclusion can be arrived based on the attitude and behavior of the student in the first year. The results when compared with an senior candidate can be similar to what they experienced during their first year The conclusion can be revised effectively by comparison with the larger group .
