❑ identify whether the argument uses an


inductive or deductive reasoning; and
❑ draw a conclusion based on the given
statements or premises using inductive
or deductive reasoning; and
What are the differences
between inductive and
deductive reasoning?
What is inductive reasoning?
❖ Inductive reasoning is making generalizations,
conclusions, or conjectures based on observed patterns
or experience.
❖ This means that in inductive reasoning, you need to
observe and recognize patterns in a given set of data
before making a conjecture or general conclusion.

What is Deductive Reasoning?
➢ It is a type of logical reasoning that uses accepted
facts to reason in a step-by-step manner until we arrive
at the desired statements.
Law of Detachment (Modus Ponens) Law of Syllogism (Chain Rule)
Major Premise: If p is true, then q is true. Major Premise: If p is true, then q is true.
Minor Premise: If q is true, then r is true.
Minor Premise: p is true.
Conclusion: If p, then r.
Conclusion: Therefore, q is true.
What is Deductive Reasoning?
➢ Deductive reasoning is the process of drawing a conclusion
based on premises that are generally assumed to be
true(facts).
