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.
No, fallacious inductive arguments are not sound. Sound arguments must be valid and have true premises, but fallacious arguments contain errors in reasoning that make them unsound.
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 arguments use specific examples to draw a general conclusion, while deductive arguments start with a general principle and apply it to specific cases.

Deductive arguments are more common than inductive arguments. Deductive reasoning begins with a general statement and applies it to a specific case, leading to a certain conclusion. Inductive reasoning begins with specific observations and generates a general hypothesis.

Inductive arguments
Inductive arguments should never be characterized as guaranteeing truth or absolute certainty. This is because inductive reasoning relies on specific examples to draw general conclusions, which are probabilistic and open to revision based on new evidence.
inductive; -of reasoning; proceeding from particular facts to a general conclusion; "inductive reasoning" So an inductive argument would be based on a set of facts that two opposing sides could use to create separate conclusions, or that one person could use to form a theory or a derivation
