Question: Match each example with the correct type of inductive reasoning.

Only 10 out of 45 incumbent presidents have failed to win re-election. Therefore, Trump will likely get re-elected.

Every time I eat grapes I break out in hives. Therefore, I must be allergic to grapes.

Whenever ice cream sales increase, crime rates also increase. Therefore, if ice cream sales start increasing, crime rates will also likely start increasing.

Every other job I have had has paid me for work. Therefore, there must be something wrong with my current job because they are not paying me for work.

97% of scientists agree that climate change is real. Therefore, climate change must be real.

cause, sign, comparison, and authority

Respuesta :

Inductive reasoning goes from specific facts and then moves on to a generalized conclusion, and we can match the types as seen in the answer below.

  • Only 10 out of 45 incumbent presidents have failed to win re-election. Therefore, Trump will likely get re-elected. - Example.
  • Every time I eat grapes I break out in hives. Therefore, I must be allergic to grapes. - Cause.

What is inductive reasoning?

Inductive reasoning is a type of thought process that allows us to reach conclusions about something. In inductive reasoning, we go from specific facts or examples to a generalized conclusion about a phenomenon. For example, you may notice that you get a stuffy nose every time it rains. After observing that fact, you may conclude that rainy weather gives you a stuffy nose.

There are five methods of inductive reasoning, as mentioned in the question:

  • Example - uses specific instances to reach the conclusion.
  • Cause - sees an event as the cause of another event.
  • Sign - sees an event as connected to another event, although not as a cause.
  • Comparison - compares two different things or people with the purpose of finding similarities or differences between them.
  • Authority - reaches a conclusion based on what a credible source says.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.
