Inductive Argument
An argument is inductive when it is based on probability, such as statistics. In an inductive argument, if the premises are true, the conclusion is probably true.
Since an inductive argument is an argument where the truth of the premises make it reasonable to hold that the conclusion is true, it does not necessarily guarantee it, meaning you could have a false conclusion.

Deductive and Inductive Arguments
Inductive reasoning varies from deductive reasoning as follows: 1) inductive reasoning is a reason supporting an argument and 2) deductive reasoning is an argument against an argument.
