  1. Deductive vs. Inductive Reasoning

  2. Objectives • Use a Venn diagram to determine the validity of an argument. • Complete a pattern with the most likely possible next item. • Explain a general rule or pattern given a word and letter pairing.

  3. Vocabulary • Deductive reasoning • Inductive reasoning • Venn diagram • Syllogism • Valid/invalid argument

  4. the drawing of inferences or conclusions from known or assumed facts • Reasoning: • Deductive reasoning: • Inductive reasoning: the application of a general statement to a specific instance the application of specific instances to form a general conclusion

  5. Classify the argument as deductive or inductive: • I ate a chili dog at Joe’s and got indigestion. • I ate a chili dog at Ruby’s and got indigestion. Therefore, chili dogs give me indigestion.

  8. Draw a Venn diagram to determine if the argument is valid or invalid: • No one who can afford health insurance is unemployed. • All politicians can afford health insurance. Therefore, no politician is unemployed.
