you start by creating premises that make the conclusion probable but not necessary (as is the case with deductive arguments).
For example,
Socrates was Greek
Most Greeks ate fish
Therefore,
Socrates probably ate fish
this is an inductive argument, because it is based on probability. the natural sciences frequently use this type of argument
Answer
First pick your subject and have ready certain facts which can be put forward for discussion. The facts may be argued for or against, but in the end all come to a general conclusion of the possibility that the facts contain enough evidence to argue the point, certainly enough to satisfy all concerned that the possibility that the evidence put for or against has merrit.
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
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.

An argument is considered inductive when the conclusion is based on a series of specific observations or evidence that may support the conclusion but does not guarantee it. Inductive arguments rely on the probability of the conclusion being true rather than its certainty.
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.

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.
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.
Yes, it is possible to have a sound valid inductive argument. For an inductive argument to be sound, it must have a valid form (the conclusion must logically follow from the premises) and have true premises. This combination of validity and truth makes the argument sound.
