What does fallacious reasoning?
false reasoning :)
Does deductive reasoning use observations to prove conjectures?
false
A scientific must be testable and capable of being proven false.?
Yes. Scientific theories, hypotheses or more generally conjectures must be testable capable of being proved false.
Testable and capable of being proven false its call?
falsifiable
Testable and capable of being proven false it is call?
falsifiable
Does inductive reasoning require creative reasoning?
no. false
True or false Deductive reasoning is much better than inductive reasoning?
FALSE
Does inductive reasoning require creative thinking?
No. False.
Is it true that in inductive reasoning you use a general rule to make a decision about a specific case?
false
How is inductive reasoning weaker than deductive reasoning?
Inductive reasoning is weaker than deductive reasoning because it involves making generalizations based on specific observations, which can lead to errors or false conclusions. In contrast, deductive reasoning starts with a general principle or hypothesis and uses it to make specific predictions or draw specific conclusions, which can be more reliable and conclusive when executed correctly.
How Can a strong inductive argument have a false conclusion?
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 reasoning is finding what may be true True or false?
False. Deductive reasoning involves starting with general principles or premises and drawing specific conclusions from them. It is based on logic, where if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. In contrast, finding what may be true suggests an element of uncertainty or exploration, which aligns more with inductive reasoning.
When is stong inductive argument uncogent?
A strong inductive argument can be considered uncogent if the premises are not relevant or if there is a problem with the reasoning or structure of the argument. Additionally, if the premises are not true or if there is a lack of sufficient evidence to support the conclusion, the strong inductive argument may be considered uncogent.
Importance of boolean algebra?
Boolean algebra is the process of evaluating statements to be either true or false. It is extremely important for inductive and deductive reasoning as well as for all forms of science.
Is deductive reasoning more important than inductive reasoning?
Both are equally important. Inductive reasoning is when one makes a conclusion based on patterns; deductive reasoning is based on a hypothesis already believed to be true. However, deductive reasoning does give a more "solid" conclusion because as long as the hypothesis is true, the conclusion will most likely to be true. An example is saying that all dogs are big; Harry is a dog, so it must be big. Since the hypothesis all dogs are big is false, Harry may not necessarily be big. If I change my hypothesis to be all dogs are mammals, thus concluding that Harry is a mammal since it is a dog, I would be correct, for I changed my hypothesis to a true fact. Using inductive reasoning, on the other hand, may result in a false conclusion. For example, since I am a human and I have brown hair, one could use inductive reasoning to say all humans have brown hair, which would be false. So, to sum it up, both inductive and deductive reasoning are important, but deductive reasoning is usually more reliable since as long as the hypothesis one's conclusion is based on is true, the conclusion itself will usually be true.

What are Strengths and weaknesses of deductive and inductive research approaches?
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!
