In an inductive argument, the strength of the conclusion depends on the strength and truth of the premises. If all premises are true, it increases the likelihood (but does not guarantee) that the conclusion will also be true. This is because inductive reasoning works by generalizing from specific instances or observations, rather than deducing conclusions with certainty.
