To determine
State if the given statement is an example of inductive or deductive reasoning.
Answer to Problem 1ES
Inductive reasoning.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
My coat is red. My neighbor's coat is red. Therefore, all coats are red.
Concept used:
In inductive reasoning we reason from specific examples to reach a general conclusion.
The given conclusion is about the color of coats in general, which is arrived by observing the specific cases of the color of your coat and your neighbor's.
Hence the given statement is an example of inductive reasoning.
