An inductive argument is where the premises support the
conclusion. If the premises are true, it makes it improbable that the
conclusion would be false. There has to be at least two premises. An inductive
argument that I just made the other day was that my new tattoo was going to
cost $375.
-Marks of Art tattoo charges $125
an hour (premise)
-Scotty, the tattoo artist, told me
that it was going to take 3 hours to completely finish my tattoo. (premise)
-Therefore, my new tattoo will end
up costing my $375. (conclusion)
This example is a inductive reasoning because if both of the
premises are true, then it is impossible for my conclusion to be false. If one
of the premises were not true, than it would make the conclusion not true. The
premises are what is most important while using this argument. Inductive
reasoning is a good way to argue because it is supports the conclusion with
facts.
