Inductive arguments are 100% correct but basicly tell u very little
in contrast almost all of our knowledge comes from deductive arguments but they are only 99% certain
examples
inductive
i am a unmarried man
All unmarried men are unhappy
therefore
i am unhappy
(note this is also a unsound argument)
deductive
i poured chemical A into a solution of chemical B it reacted to form a purple solid
i poured chemical A into a solution of chemical B it reacted to form a purple solid
i poured chemical A into a solution of chemical B it reacted to form a purple solid
i poured chemical A into a solution of chemical B it reacted to form a purple solid
i poured chemical A into a solution of chemical B it reacted to form a purple solid
therefore
when i pour chemical A into a solution of chemical B it will react to form a purple solid
that is an invalid argument
primarily because we cant predict the future and because it snot specific enough
the solution to the problem between inductive and deductive is Kant who came up with the synthetic a prori
what is inductive strategy?
Inductive reasoning is based on observations gained by a individual. Deductive reasoning is based on known laws or general principles.
Deductive takes the facts and finds an answer. Detectives usually use this method. Inductive takes the answer and finds the question.
Inductive research starts off with specific observations and move toward general ideas or theory to capture what they show. (Qualitative) Deductive Research starts with a general idea or theory and then moves to test it by looking at specific observations. (Quantitative)

Deductive and Inductive Arguments
People create inductive arguments by organizing the strongest possible support for a contention. Inductive arguments do not offer absolute proof, but they offer evidence in support of a point that cannot be proven through deductive reasoning.
Inductive arguments are those supposedly supported by good, but not conclusive, evidence. The idea of conclusive or demonstrative evidence goes with deductive arguments, whereas the idea of less than conclusive or demonstrative evidence goes with inductive arguments. Inductive arguments are based on probability; if the premises are true, the conclusion is probably true.

Inductive research approaches are more widely used than Deductive by the scientific community, but they both have there strength and weaknesses. Inductive method: -Strengths: The inductive method produces concrete conclusions about nature that are backed by a variety of observational evidence. When one of an inductive arguments premises are perceived as false, other observational evidence can be added to the premises to save the argument, this is not the case with deductive reasoning. -Weaknesses: The inductive method produces conclusions that go beyond what there premises warrant. In other words, inductive arguments take a limited amount of observations to provide a universal conclusion, which could still be false. For example, someone observes 10,000 dogs and finds that they all have flees, then inductively concludes that all dogs have flees. This is a situation where overwhelming observational evidence (10,000 dogs have flees) points to an inductively reasoned false conclusion (All dogs have flees). Deductive Method: -Strengths: Deductive reasoning dosent require painstakingly observing a variety of observational evidence to reach a conclusion. One can start off with a generally accepted axiom, or statement, and deduce conclusions based on that axiom. -Weaknesses: Deductive reasoning can make permanent the logical fallacies we have today. In other words, if you use an axiom to deduce a variety of conclusions, and that axiom turns out to be false, all of the conclusions following that axiom are false as a result. hope this helps!
which is the most important inductive or deductive reasoning
deductive
http://www.triviumpursuit.com/articles/two_methods_of_reasoning.php i had to write this essay and this site really helps!
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.
Inductive statistic deals with prediction while deductive statistic deals with presumption
It is both inductive and deductive. There are examples of both in his speech.
