Question

Enumerate five different arguments not covered in this lesson, and determine whether each argument's reasoning is inductive or deductive. Identify the premises and the conclusion for each example. Example: The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180°. Triangle T has an angle A of 40°, an angle B is 90°. Therefore, the angle C is 50°. This is a deductive argument because it is a fact that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180° and 40+90+50=180.40+90+50=180. You may find examples on the Internet if you wish, but each example must be explained in your own words.

Explanation / Answer

examples of inductive and deductive:

1.If a=b and b=c then a=c.

If one of the sides of a triangle is equal to other two sides then the other two sides are equal to each other.

This is a deductive reasoning.

2.To earn a degree a student needs 60 credits. Mark has 72 credits so mark will earn a degree

This is deductive reasoning as mark credits are greater than required credits he will be granted a degree.

3.All cars have 4 doors ,Maruti is a car. so maruti has 4 doors.

Since all cars have 4 days and maruti is a car it should have 4 doors.

This is deductive reasoning.

4.Birds have feathers.Baxter is a bird.So baxter has feathers.

This a deductive reasoning as all birds have feathers and this is one of the birds.

5.All numbers ending in 0 or 5 are divisible by 5. The number 55 ends with a 5, so it is divisible by 5.
This is also a deductive reasoning.
