The document discusses various inductive reasoning examples and techniques including:
- Using inductive reasoning to predict patterns in number sequences.
- Making conjectures about arithmetic procedures by examining specific examples.
- Using inductive reasoning to verify hypotheses or find counter examples.
It also discusses deductive reasoning and compares inductive and deductive arguments. Finally, it presents two logic puzzles involving occupations and class officer positions that can be solved using deductive reasoning.

Inductive reasoning is also used to make a conjecture about an arithmetic procedure. Examples: Use inductive reasoning to make a conjecture. Given: Pick a number. Multiply the number by 8, add 6 to the product, divide the sum by 2, and subtract 3. Solution:Suppose we 5 as our original number. Original number: 5 Multiply by 8: 8x5 =40 Add 6 : 40+6 = 46 Divide by 2 : 46 2= 23 Subtract 3: 23-3 = 20 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Inductive Reasoning is using : To solve an Applications Counter Examples Intro

Deductive Reasoning Intro
Deductive reasoning is the process of reaching a conclusion by
applying general assumption, procedures, or principles.
Procedures: Pick a number. Multiply the number by 8.,add 6 to the
product, divide the sum by 2, and subtract 3.

Inductive reasoning vs deductive reasoning Intro
Determine whether each of the following arguments is an example of inductive or deductive.
1. During the past 10 years, a tree has produced plums every other year. Last year the tree did not produce plums, so this year the tree will produce plums.
2. All home improvements cost more than the estimate. The contractor estimated that my home improvement will cost 350,000. Thus my home improvement will cost more than 350,000 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
