To earn an 'A' in the chemistry course, a student must score at least 90 percent on the final exam. Jordan scored a 92 percent on the final exam. Therefore, Jordan earned an 'A' in the course.
The reasoning in the argument is questionable because it
- treats clearing a threshold that the grade requires as though clearing it were enough to secure the grade.
- assumes that Jordan's final-exam score reflects the quality of their work across the whole semester.
- fails to explain precisely how Jordan's 92 percent score was computed.
- takes for granted that no classmate of Jordan's scored higher on the final exam.
- presumes that scoring above 90 percent is impossible for any student who has not mastered the material.
