Question

select whether the given conclusion is based on inductive or deductive reasoning. a dental assistant notices that a patient has never been on time for an appointment. she concludes that the patient will be late for her next appointment. select choice

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning uses specific observations (patient never on time) to make a general prediction (will be late next time). Deductive uses general principles to reach specific conclusions, which isn't the case here. So the conclusion is based on inductive reasoning.

Inductive Reasoning
