Answer 1

Answer:

A) My dog has barked at every car. Therefore, she will bark at the next

car.

Explanation:

Reasoning by induction:

• draws broad conclusions based on specific premises

• hypotheses based on specific evidence

• brings about broad conclusions with varying degrees of certainty (probably true, unlikely to be true)

Inductive reasoning allows for incorrect or false conclusions even if all premises are true. Like before, "I've heard my dog yip at every So she'll bark at the next one." While the premise (My dog has barked at every car) is true, the conclusion (She will bark at the next car) is not. Inductive reasoning predicts outcomes based on prior knowledge and verified observations. So does deductive reasoning.

If you notice a pattern in a sequence, you can infer the following terms. Inductive reasoning leads to a hypothesis. Inductive reasoning examines multiple scenarios or opinions/conclusions to arrive at a conclusion.assessing the strength of an argument rather than its validity
