1. The problem asks us to determine whether each conclusion is based on inductive or deductive reasoning. 2. Inductive reasoning involves making a generalization based on specific observations, while deductive reasoning involves drawing specific conclusions from general rules or premises. 3. Let's analyze each statement: 1. Aundrea noticed that every Saturday, her neighbor mows his lawn. Today is Saturday. Aundrea concludes her neighbor will mow his lawn. - This is inductive reasoning because it generalizes from past specific examples (neighbor mows every Saturday) to predict what will happen today. 2. Students at Blake's high school must have a B average to participate in sports. Blake has a B average, so he concludes he can participate. - This is deductive reasoning because it applies a general rule (B average needed) to a specific case (Blake's grades). 3. At LSPU, if you are late five times, you get detention. Marvin has been late five times, so he will get detention. - Deductive reasoning: applying a rule to a specific instance. 4. A dental assistant notices a patient has never been on time. She concludes the patient will be late next time. - Inductive reasoning: generalizing from past observations. 5. If Cooper goes to a concert, he will miss practice. Cooper went to a concert. Cooper missed football. - Deductive reasoning: applying conditional logic. 6. Nicole notices her grades improve whenever she attends tutoring. She attends tutoring and concludes grades will improve. - Inductive reasoning: generalizing from past occurrences. 7. Every Wednesday Kelsy's mother calls. Today is Wednesday, so Kelsy concludes her mother will call. - Deductive reasoning: applying a general rule to a specific day. 8. Some grapes are purple, all grapes are fruit, so some fruit is purple. - Deductive reasoning: applying logical syllogism. 9. Either Nel or Joseph killed Professor Rose. Whoever ran off with Mrs. White did not kill the professor. Nel ran off with Mrs. White, so Joseph killed Professor Rose. - Deductive reasoning: applying premises to deduce conclusion. 10. Cyrus must belong to the union since almost every bartender in Las Vegas does. - Inductive reasoning: generalizing a probability or trend. Final answers: 1. Inductive 2. Deductive 3. Deductive 4.
