True or False?

Use your knowledge of deduction and induction in general, and of specific deductive and inductive argument forms, to determine which of the following statements are true. Check the box next to each true statement. Deductive arguments involve necessary reasoning L If a deductive argument is a good one, it is possible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false Deductive and inductive arguments make equally strong inferential claims "Likely" and "plausible" are typical inductive indicators l In an inductive argument, the content of the conclusion does not go beyond the content of the premises The application of a general scientific law is usually treated as inductive A prediction is an inductive argument form "Necessarily" and "certainly" are examples of typical inductive indicators Any argument with a clear deductive form is best interpreted as deductive Geometry should be considered inductive because it sometimes uses analogies A categorical syllogism is inductive because it uses probabilistic reasoning If an argument contains no indicator words, then it is neither deductive nor inductive In an inductive argument, the arguer claims that it is unlikely that the conclusion is false given that the premises are true Arguments that rely solely on definition to support their conclusions are deductive Inductive reasoning is a matter of degree, while deductive reasoning is not a matter of degree
