Question
Indicate whether the conclusion of each statement is found using deductive or inductive reasoning. State your reason for your answer. Statement #1: The professor’s policy is that any student whose cell phone goes off during class will be asked to leave. So if Ericka forgets to turn hers off and it rings during a quiz, the professor will ask her to leave. Statement #2: I know I will have to work a double shift today because I have a migraine and every time I have a migraine I get stuck pulling a double shift.
Explanation / Answer
Statement #1 is deductive : This is because there is certainty that Ericka will be asked to leave due to prefessor's policy
.............................
Statement #2 is inductive : this is because she is assuming that she will get stuck in double shift due to her previous experience but there is no certainity that she will have to work a double shift today
