Deductive and Inductive Topic 4 & 5
The two major types of reasoning .....and...... ✔✔deductive and inductive
........ and......., refer to the process by which someone creates a conclusion as well as how they
believe their conclusion to be true. ✔✔deductive and inductive
........requires one to start with a few general ideas, called premises, and apply them to a specific
situation. ✔✔Deductive reasoning
Deductive reasoning requires one to start with a few general ideas, called......., and apply them to
a specific situation. ✔✔premises
.......,......,......., and other widely accepted truths are used to prove that a conclusion is right
✔✔Recognized rules, laws, theories
The concept of deductive reasoning is often expressed ......using a funnel that narrows a .......into
a........ ✔✔visually, general idea, specific conclusion
In practice, the most basic form of deductive reasoning is the......, where two premises that share
some idea support a conclusion. ✔✔syllogism
Syllogism refers to..... ✔✔where two premises that share some idea support a conclusion
.........uses a set of specific observations to reach an overarching
conclusion; it is the opposite of deductive reasoning. ✔✔Inductive reasoning
All forms of inductive reasoning, though, are based on finding a conclusion that is most likely to
fit the premises and is used when making....,......,.....,.... ✔✔1/ predictions,
2/ creating generalizations,
3/ analyzing cause and effect.
An inductive argument is either considered .....or....based on whether its conclusion is a probable
explanation for the premises. ✔✔weak or strong
The premises prove the conclusion, not justify it. (T or F) ✔✔True
Deductive reasoning is meant to demonstrate that the conclusion is absolutely true based on the
logic of the premises. (T or F) ✔✔True
a few particular premises create a pattern which gives way to a broad idea that is likely true. (T
or F) ✔✔True
In the Inductive reasoning we use an inverted funnel (or a pyramid) that starts at the narrow
premises and expands into a wider conclusion. (T or F) ✔✔True
There is an equivalent to a syllogism in inductive reasoning, meaning there is a basic standard
format. (T or F) ✔✔False
Correction: There is no equivalent to a syllogism in inductive reasoning, meaning there is no
basic standard format.
Just as deductive arguments are meant to prove a conclusion, inductive arguments are meant to
predict a conclusion. (T or F) ✔✔True
