  2. I can reason whether a statement is deductive or inductive- October 10, 2012

  3. All bats are mammals. All mammals are warm-blooded. So, all bats are warm-blooded. All arguments are deductive or inductive. Deductive arguments are arguments in which the conclusion is arrived at logically because of premises (statements) believed to be true. Inductive arguments are arguments in which the conclusion is arrived at because of premises known are observed or experienced. Premise is a statement upon which an argument is based or from which a conclusion is drawn.

  4. All bats are mammals. All mammals are warm-blooded. So, all bats are warm-blooded. Deductive. If the premises are true, the conclusion, logically, must also be true.
