Passage:
Recently researchers compared 286 depressed workers with 193 others who were not depressed. Since only the depressed workers had such problems as fatigue, lack of motivation, and trouble managing their usual workload, researchers concluded that depression was the cause of their problems at work.—American Journal of Health Promotion

4. The depressed persons cannot provide a good productivity and it is not purely work based
5. The argument does not have any credibility authority or reliability.

Write a Critical Precis for the following passage. Include an argument diagram, and identify the argument type when a appropriate. Additionally, evaluate the strength of any causal arguments, and justify the evaluation. 1.) Recently researchers compared 286 depressed workers with 193 others who were not depressed. Since only the depressed workers had such problems as fatigue, lack of motivation, and trouble managing their usual workload, researchers concluded that depression was the cause of their problems at work.
For each of these scenario please identify the following: Identify the type of inductive argument and any features of the way the argument is constructed that you find relevant. Explain how convincing you think the argument is. Does it have sufficient evidence to allow you to suggest that she move forward with the idea or does the argument have knowledge gaps? What questions need to be answered to close these gaps? Does the argument contain any information that adds to...
Passage: For-profit hospices do not focus on the best interests of their patients. In one study assessing the impact of ownership status on care provided to patients, researchers found that patients receiving care from for-profit hospices received a narrower range of services than patients from non-profit hospices.
