Make generalizations

Hello students,Previously we have discussed about verifying trigonometric identities and In this blog I am going to tell you about the generalizations which comes under 12th state board syllabus tamilnadu. We can understand the generalization as the means of conclusions. Here a important point is that all generalization can be conclusions but it is not necessary that all conclusions may be generalizations. In generalization we extend the concept pf concept in more precise form.
Generalization may be faulty and valid generalization. The simple definition of the generalization is that, it is that type of broad statement that comes from the various valid resources like from observations, experiences and by doing surveys of the entire group of people    A valid generalization follows some properties: -
(I) There should be some facts to support the particular generalize statements.
(II) There should be various types of examples to support that generalize statements
(III) There should be some past facts, surveys and experience.
(IV) There should be valid logic and reasoning.
If any statements do not the follow the above properties then it is said to be faulty generalization.
Below are some examples to make generalizations.
Simple type of information - Government schools, Colleges, courts, offices are closed on the second of October.
In generalize form – Most of the government buildings are closed on national holiday.
Simple type of information – My brother sneezes every time of second when Diwali comes.
In generalize form – My brother is allergic to crackers.
Some predefined generalizations are: - Asians are bad drivers? And white men can’t jump?
Generalization means either the word all or every. Below are the some generalization’s clue words, they are: -
All                    None
Most                Many
Always             Some
Usually            Seldom
Never               Sometimes
Few                 Generally and last Overall.
The above mention words support instruction for the generalization.
In the next session we will discuss about online tutor and You can visit our website if you need help with algebra.
