Which of the following is an example of inductive reasoning? a. it has snowed every day this week, so it will likely snow tomorrow. b.february is a snowy month where i live, so it will probably snow a lot in february. c.the meteorologist predicts snow for new year's eve, so it will snow new year's eve. d.it snowed on new year's eve, so it will snow every new year's eve.

The precise example of inductive reasoning among any other option is it has snowed every day this week, so it will likely snow tomorrow. Furthermore, inductive reasoning is about an inclusive generalization from detailed observations.

EXPLANATION:  

Inductive reasoning, or so-called induction, is one of two basic kinds of inference. An inference is a logical relationship between two statements: the first is known as the premise, while the second is known as a conclusion and must face some sort of logical connection with the premise.

Induction, in particular, is a conclusion according to rational probabilities. If the premise is true, afterward the conclusion might be right too. This is different from deductive inferences, where the conclusion ought to be true if the premise is.

Examples

Premise: Every day so far, the sun has set in the West and risen in the East.

Conclusion: The sun will perhaps endure to set in the West and rise in the East.

Usually, inductive reasoning generates a common conclusion from certain premises. They begin with a specific observation of a pattern, and afterward, conclude that there is a general rule. For example, many people know the general rule in the example above: the sun always rises and sets always in the same way. The rule is according to a large accumulation of data points, not on mathematical "evidence" or derivatives of other abstract rules.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
