Question

Tell whether the argument below is an example of inductive or deductive reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Deductive Reasoning

Step-by-step explanation:

We take the statement as true,

"...all dogs in the kennel are collies..."

we also take

- collies are a type of dog

and

- Rover is a dog

So if Rover is a dog, and all dogs in the kennel are collies, then Rover is a collie, because he is a dog and inside the kennel (after we take the statement all dogs in the kennel are collies).

This type of reasoning follows the Deductive Reasoning pattern, if A = B, and B is C then A is also C.

While inductive takes that if A = B, and C is B just like D is B, then E is also B.
