claim

Examples of claim in the following topics:

• Turning Your Working Hypothesis into a Claim

  • Consequently, it is the nature of a hypothesis to make a claim about something.
  • If your hypothesis does not make a claim, it is for one of two reasons.
  • If something cannot be contradicted, it is a fact rather than a claim.
  • You always want to be as clear and thorough as possible about what you are claiming.
  • Compose a working hypothesis based on a claim you want to prove

• Liquidation Preference

  • After the removal of all assets which are subject to retention of title arrangements, fixed security, or are otherwise subject to proprietary claims of others, the liquidator will pay the claims against the company's assets.
  • The main purpose of a liquidation where the company is insolvent is to collect in the company's assets, determine the outstanding claims against the company, and satisfy those claims in the manner and order prescribed by law.
  • Before the claims are met, secured creditors are entitled to enforce their claims against the assets of the company to the extent that they are subject to a valid security interest.
  • In most legal systems, only fixed security takes precedence over all claims.
  • After the removal of all assets which are subject to retention of title arrangements, fixed security, or are otherwise subject to proprietary claims of others, the liquidator will pay the claims against the company's assets.

• Supporting Your Thesis

  • Synthesizing your general claims with specific evidence is a way of providing support for your claims.
  • General claim: The novel has a history of being popular with politically progressive groups.
  • Your thesis will condense a series of claims into one or two sentences.
  • To prove your thesis, you will need to articulate these claims and convince the reader that these claims are true.
  • Consequently, the majority of your paper will be dedicated to presenting and analyzing evidence that supports your claims, making it clear to the reader how the evidence relates to the claims.

• Introduction to the Perils of Greenwashing

  • Of course, there's nothing wrong with touting green credentials if the efforts behind such claims are valid.
  • All the others contained misleading claims that could not be proven.
  • These claims included:
  • No proof to back up claims. 26% of the products examined boasted green credentials, yet the manufacturer was not able to confirm the claims being made.
  • Irrelevant claims. 4% of the green claims turned out to be true, yet were of no real value.

• Topic Sentences

  • You then organized your research, finding the evidence to support each claim.
  • Each paragraph will begin by making a claim (your topic sentence) that connects back to your thesis.
  • Usually, paragraphs will end by connecting their claim to the larger argument or by setting up the claim that the next paragraph will contain.
  • If you have a lot of ideas and claims to address, you may be tempted to combine related claims into the same paragraph.
  • If you have too many claims, choose the strongest ones to expand into paragraphs, or research the counterarguments to see which of your claims speak most powerfully to those.

• Claim to Income

  • Preferred and common stock have varying claims to income which will change from one equity issuer to another.
  • Preferred stock has a claim on liquidation proceeds of a stock corporation equal to its par (or liquidation) value, unless otherwise negotiated.
  • This claim is senior to that of common stock, which has only a residual claim.
  • Both types of stock can have a claim to income in the form of capital appreciation as well.
  • In turn, should market forces decrease, the value of equity held will decrease as well, reflecting a loss on investment and, therefore, a decrease on the value of any claims to income for shareholders.

• Practice 3: Test of a Single Variance

  • Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes.
  • It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 150 minutes.
  • Is the traveler disputing the claim about the average or about the variance?
  • Perform a hypothesis test on the consistency part of the claim.
  • If an additional test were done on the claim of the average delay, which distribution would you use?

• Establishing Why Your Claims Matter

  • In your writing, you should establish why the claims you are making matter for your reader.
  • Putting Your Claims in Context: Tell your readers where things currently stand with your topic.
  • After you build the foundation of your argument, illustrate your general claims with specific examples.
  • Putting Your Claims in Context: Tell your readers where things currently stand with your topic.
  • In the course of your writing, be sure to articulate why the claims you are making matter.

• Step 3: Outlining

  • Do the same with the other claims and pieces of evidence.
  • Now you can rearrange the pieces of evidence as necessary to go with the most appropriate claim. 
  • Read your thesis, claims, and evidence out loud to a friend.
  • Looking at your outline board, come up with counter-arguments and questions for each claim.
  • After each claim, ask, “What does the reader need to know next?”

• Topic Research: Gathering Materials and Evidence

  • In order to fully substantiate any claims you make in your speech, you must fully research those claims and provide supporting evidence.
  • If you want to successfully substantiate any claim in your speech, you'll need to make sure you back it up with information from credible sources.
  • But if you have a claim that could stray anywhere into the realm of opinion (such as, the existence of extraterrestrial life in the universe besides that on Earth), you'll want to make sure you have credible sources to back up that claim.
  • Additionally, you should never copy any information word for word and claim it as your own.
