Question

Which answers are examples of inductive reasoning?

Answer 1

Inductive reasoning means an answer/assumption can be made based on what has happened, but the answer/assumption may not really be true or fact. this is inductive reasoning: John will see wild turkeys in his yard next year is a good assumption based on the fact that the past 3 years he's seen turkeys. It could happen, but it also might not happen. this is inductive reasoning: Mrs. Smith expects that all her students will be female since the first 10 that walked in were female, that could happen, but she could also have at least one male student in her class.
