Document Summary
Deductive and inductive reasoning: premises, fred is the brother of mary, mary is the mother of lisa, deductive conclusion, fred is the uncle of lisa (this is the definition of uncle and is certain) Inductive conclusion: fred is older than lisa (we can assume that it is likely this statement is true, but it is not certified by the premises) Even if the answer goes against intuition, it is important that the logic be followed: a good strategy for detaching one"s self from the content is to replace all content with a and. B and only substitute the content for the letters at the very end. 4 cards with letters on one side and numbers on the other side. Judge the validity of the following rule: if a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number on the other side.
