Deductive reasoning starts with one or more premise to reach a logical and certain conclusion. Part one- only canadian citizens are allowed to vote in canadian federal elections. Part two- kim is allowed to vote in canadian federal elections. Inductive reasoning process of reasoning in which the specific are as supplying some evidence for the general. Conclusion is certain but the truth of it may be probable based upon evidence given. Have no validity or soundness (can be strong or weak, cogent or uncogent). Part one- thing x has features a, b, c and d. Part two- thing y has features a, b and c. Conclusion- it is therefore likely that y also has feature d. Pragmatic- uses anything that works; deduction, induction, experiments, mathematics; excludes everything that doesn"t work. Continuous process of refinement of the method itself. Confirmation of the hypotheses with data strengthens the validity of the argument.
