For Kant, the two types of synthetic judgment

    { 1 } - are exemplified in the proposition "Everything which happens has its cause."
    { 2 } - are exemplified in the proposition "All members of the x tribe are short."
    { 3 } - involve the concept of the predicate being underived from experience.
    { 4 } - are not determined by whether or not the concept of the predicate is derived from experience.
    { 5 } - are rejected by empiricist philosophers such as Hume.
    { 6 } - involve the concept of the predicate being found in experience.

No, that is an example of a synthetic a priori judgment.

No, that is an example of a synthetic a posteriori judgment.

No, that is true only of the synthetic a priori judgment.

Yes, they are. The former is a posteriori and the latter is a priori.

    { 6 } - involve the concept of the predicate being found in experience.

They do not accept the existence of synthetic a priori judgments, since all judgments for them are either analytic or synthetic a posteriori, thus they accept one type but not the other.

No, that is true only of the synthetic a posteriori judgment. See p. 220
