Whether the conclusion is deductive or inductive.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
There are three sisters. Two of them are athletes and two of them like tacos. At least one of the athletic sisters likes tacos.
Calculation:
There are three sisters and suppose the name of these three sisters are X, Y, and Z. In these two of them are athletes and two of them like tacos.
Therefore from the above given data it cannot decide that those two of three likes both athletes and tacos.
It is because;
It may be possible that X and Y are athletes and Y and Z likes tacos.
It may be possible that X and Z are athletes and X and Y likes Tacos.
It may be possible that X and Y are athletes and X, Y also likes tacos.
Hence form the above deduction the conclusion that both of athletes like tacos or one of the athlete sisters like tacos cannot be made surely.
