Question

Can anyone tell me what inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning and explain their purposes.
Will give Medal!!

Answer 1

nductive reasoning (as opposed to deductive reasoning) is reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for (not absolute proof of) the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is supposed to be certain, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument is supposed to be probable, based upon the evidence given.

Answer 2

A deductive argument is an argument that is intended by the arguer to be (deductively) valid, that is, to provide a guarantee of the truth of the conclusion provided that the argument's premises (assumptions) are true. This point can be expressed also by saying that, in a deductive argument, the premises are intended to provide such strong support for the conclusion that, if the premises are true, then it would be impossible for the conclusion to be false. An argument in which the premises do succeed in guaranteeing the conclusion is called a (deductively) valid argument. If a valid argument has true premises, then the argument is said to be sound.

1 day ago the sun rose
2 days ago the sun rose
3 days ago the sun rose
....

Answer 9

right

Answer 10

example of deductive reasoning:

All apples are fruits
all fruits grow on trees;

conclusion: all apples grow on trees.

Answer 11

the big difference is that the conclusion of an inductive argument can be false, but the premises true

Answer 12

the conclusion of a valid deductive argument cannot be false while the premises be true as well

Answer 13

tomorrow the sun might not rise (what's to prevent it? )

Answer 14

swan example, there are black swans in australia!!

Answer 15

perl how did you get another medal

Answer 16

but a deductive argument does not allow such a possibility.
Here is another way of looking at deductive arguments.
In a deductive argument, the conclusion is built into the premises. It is implied by the premises already

Answer 17

the conclusion of an inductive argument is not built into the premises, you have make a sort of leap to the conclusion

Answer 18

In a deductive argument, the conclusion is already built into the premises.
