Chapter 5 lecture quiz

[dsit...@gmail.com]

I am experiencing a difficulty in understanding and answering these two questions in chapter 5 lecture quiz. Please advise:

According to lecture, the axiomatic model of inquiry is not very productive for empirical inquiry because

		facts about the world can not be derived from conceptual truths.
		the axiomatic system lacks the capacity for precision and measurement.
		the axiomatic system has absolutely no value except in purely abstract endeavors like math and geometry.
		axiomatic approaches work best when the axioms are defining the characteristics of abstract concepts, not physical phenomena.

In lecture, the Judgment of King Solomon was used to demonstrate

		that improbable auxiliary hypotheses can undermine an attempt to conduct a crucial experiment.
		the basic structure of a crucial experiment.
		that there is no such thing as a crucial experiment.
		the reliance of experimental predictions on auxiliary hypotheses.

You are free to ask these questions in any form you like, and other students are free to help you in any way they like.  

In my case, to help you I need for you to say something about exactly what you don't understand. For example, you could explain why you think these answers are correct, and then I will try to say something that will help you to see things differently.  Or you could state how you understand the relevant concepts, and I can tell you whether this is correct and how to think differently if it is not.
