I.
★ 1. Deductive (argument based on mathematics; also, conclusion follows necessarily from the
premises).
2. Inductive (casual inference; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premises).
3. Inductive (based on prediction; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premises).
★4. Deductive (categorical syllogism; also, conclusion follows necessarily from the premises).
5. Inductive (based on generalization; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premises).
6. Inductive (causal inference; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premise).
★ 7. Inductive (causal inference; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premise).
9. Inductive (based on signs; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premise).
★ 10. Inductive (argument from analogy; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premise).
12. Deductive (disjunctive syllogism; also, conclusion follows necessarily from the premises)
★ 13. Inductive (argument from authority; also, conclusion follows only probably from the
premise).
14. Deductive (hypothetical syllogism; also, conclusion follows necessarily from the premises)
15. Inductive (causal inference; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premise).
18. Inductive (based on generalization; also, conclusion follows only probably from the
premises).
★19. Inductive (causal inference; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premises).
20. Deductive (conclusion follows necessarily from the premises; this example might
also be interpreted as an argument based from math — linear equation)
21. Inductive (causal inference; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premises).
★ 22. Deductive (conclusion follows necessarily from the premise; this example might also be
interpreted as an argument from definition—the definition of “refraction”).
23. Inductive (based on prediction; also, conclusion follows only probably from the premises).
★ 25. Inductive (causal inference: The dog’s familiarity with the visitor caused the dog to be silent).
★ 28. Inductive (causal inference; also, the word “may” suggests a probabilistic inference).
29. Inductive (argument from analogy; also, conclusion follows only probably from the
premise).
