Examples of evidence in the following topics:
-
- Research in March, 2012 reported here found evidence for the existence of the Higgs Boson particle.
- However, the evidence for the existence of the particle was not statistically significant.
- Did the researchers conclude that their investigation had been a failure or did they conclude they have evidence of the particle, just not strong enough evidence to draw a confident conclusion?
- One of the investigators stated, "We see some tantalizing evidence but not significant enough to make a stronger statement. " Therefore, they were encouraged by the result.
- In a subsequent study, the evidence was significant.
-
- Persuasive speakers have an ethical duty to consider opposing viewpoints and evidence before being sure that theirs are correct.
- You may be making the wrong conclusion based on the evidence or your evidence may be flawed, both of which can be shown by examining other views.
- Perhaps you and your opponent are using the same evidence but come to different conclusions .
- Furthermore, evidence must generally be accepted only after intense scrutiny.
- This is due to the fact that evidence comes from a process which may be flawed.
-
- Consequently, the majority of your paper will be dedicated to presenting and analyzing evidence that supports your claims, making it clear to the reader how the evidence relates to the claims.
- You should also know which pieces of evidence you want to use to back up each claim.
- You cannot just present a piece of evidence and assume that your work is done.
- When analyzing your evidence, be as thorough and clear as possible.
- You may have great evidence, but if your reasoning is sloppy or flawed, you can render that evidence meaningless to the reader.
-
- Scientific evidence is evidence which serves to either support or counter a scientific theory or hypothesis.
- Such evidence is expected to be empirical and in accordance with scientific method.
- Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes (stories).
- Anecdotal evidence is considered dubious support for a claim; it is accepted only in lieu of more solid evidence.
- Statistics are a type of scientific evidence that can bolster arguments.
-
- Just how well does your evidence actually back up your argument?
- That disconnect might occur when your evidence is not actually relevant to your argument.
- Make sure your evidence is directly related to the points you are trying to make.
- Likewise, your audience may have evidence of their own to contradict your line of reasoning; anticipate these contradictions and argue your point with evidence to counter their disagreements.
- Your evidence may only skim the surface.
-
- To understand it in the opposite, to lack evidence is to lack the validity of a belief or idea.
- Accuracy: The evidence must be truthfully constructed and defined.
- The audience must be able to understand the evidence before it is used in an appeal.
- Relevant Context: The evidence must be defined within the context of the appeal.
- Secondly, the evidence must be defined only as comprehensively as necessary.
-
- Data collected in this haphazard fashion are called anecdotal evidence.
- Such evidence may be true and verifiable, but it may only represent extraordinary cases.
- Anecdotal evidence typically is composed of unusual cases that we recall based on their striking characteristics.
- In February 2010, some media pundits cited one large snow storm as valid evidence against global warming.
-
- Not all supporting evidence, however, is created equally.
- For example, scientific evidence is absolutely necessary in settings such as an exam.
- Scientific evidence is used to prove that a set of facts or conditions is present in the world.
- Using non-scientific evidence comes with some dangers, however.
- Exam questions in most subjects test the taker's grasp of empirical evidence (scientific evidence).
-
- If the evidence does not match up with a hypothesis, one should reject the hypothesis.
- We're presented with evidence in the form of a picture of a blond-haired baby girl.
- We find this evidence supports $H_2$ and opposes $H_1$ and $H_3$.
- We're presented with evidence in the form of a picture of a baby dog.
- After observing some evidence, the resulting posterior probability can then be treated as a prior probability, and a new posterior probability computed from new evidence.
-
- The practice of evidence-based decision making involves using current information to make empirically supported decisions.
- Because the evidence approach examines outcomes, it supports the careful consideration of the relationship between cause and effect.
- Critics of EBMgt argue that evidence may not always be complete or appropriately measured; they also argue that analysis is not always neutral or without bias.
- Critics also argue that evidence-based approaches do not take ethics into consideration.
- Describe the concept and strategic implications of evidence-based decision making in management (EBMgt)
