Get Day 1 Inductive Reasoning And Conjectures

If we look at data over the precipitation in a city for 29 out of 30 days and see that it has been raining every single day it would be a good guess that it will be raining the 30th day as well. A conjecture is an educated guess that is based on known information.

Inductive reasoning examples All cats I have seen are white. So, most of the cats are probably white. Three cats out of 10 in the U.S. are white. So about 30% of cats in the U.S. are white. Jen just moved here from Thailand. ... Mei has new shoes. ... The population of Thailand has risen steadily over the past 20 years.

Inductive reasoning is when you start with specific observations or facts, and infer a general rule or conclusion from them. For example, if you notice that every time you eat spicy food, you get a stomach ache, you might use inductive reasoning to conclude that spicy food causes stomach aches.

We like to define conjectures as generalizations, predictions, or conclusions drawn from specific examples. Inductive reasoning, then, is the process of making these conjectures.

Inductive reasoning happens when we look around at various happenings, objects, behavior, etc., and see patterns. From those patterns we develop conclusions. There are four types of inductive reasoning, based on different kinds of evidence and logical moves or jumps.

For example, let's say Billy loves building sand castles, playing in the ocean, and collecting sea shells. With these details, you could use inductive reasoning to conclude that Billy probably enjoys the beach. Your conclusion is pretty likely. However, some conclusions may not be true.
