Identify the differences between deductive and inductive arguments.

Is the sample known? Is the sample sufficient? Is the sample representative?

  1. After reviewing pages 454-459, 432-436 of your textbook, respond to the following:
    • Identify the differences between deductive and inductive arguments.
    • Additionally, explain how misleading reasoning is used to influence others.
    • Then, select a topic of interest to you and explain how you would come up with a reliable sample for obtaining peoples’ opinions.
  2. Reference the section “Empirical Generalization,” on pages 457-458 of your textbook.  The key criteria for inductive arguments in establishing viable sample populations are:
    • Is the sample known?
    • Is the sample sufficient?
    • Is the sample representative?

Re-type and then respond to these questions.  Your response should consist of 1-2 pages.
