This video lecture discusses the meaning, nature, and dynamics of the fallacy of hasty generalization. • The fallacy of hasty generalization occurs when a generalization is formed on the basis of an unrepresentative sample. As we may already know, to be accurate, a generalization about a group should be based upon a sample that reflects the diversity of that group. One way of ensuring a representative sample, in some cases, is to select as large a sample as possible. The more people polled, for example, the more likely it is that the results truly represent the group. However, an accurate generalization does not necessarily require a large sample. In Gallup opinion polls, generalizations are typically based on surveys of a very small number of people. However, the pollsters are careful to select a typical or representative group of people for their sample. • Full transcript of this video lecture is available at: https://philonotes.com/2022/05/hasty-... • *** • For more Whiteboard editions from PHILO-notes, SUBSCRIBE NOW! / philonotes • For more discussions about Philosophy, VISIT OUR WEBSITE: http://philonotes.com • FOLLOW US!
