Question

Jeremy checked the mail at 11:00 a.m. for one week, and it was never there. He then checked the mail after noon for one week, and it was always there. Use inductive reasoning to formulate a conjecture about when the mail comes.

A.
The mail comes before 11:00 a.m. every day.
B.
The mail comes at different times each week.
C.
The mail comes between 11:00 a.m. and noon every day.
D.
The mail comes after noon every day.

Answer 1

So if he always checked the mail at 11:00 AM for a whole week and it was never there, we known that the mail cannot come before 11:00 AM so WE KNOW that A is WRONG

Answer 2

Well, since he only checked it at 11:00 AM, we don't know if it comes at 11:05 AM or 11:10 AM so B is wrong since we do not know

Answer 3

Now we have C and D left, if the mail came AFTER noon, then it would not be there when he checked at noon, so D is wrong.

Answer 4

The correct answer is C
