    Here are the key differences between inductive and deductive reasoning: - Inductive reasoning involves drawing a general conclusion based on patterns in specific observations or instances. It works from the specific to the general. - Deductive reasoning involves drawing a specific conclusion based on one or more general statements or premises. It works from the general to the specific. - Inductive arguments are probabilistic in nature - the conclusion is likely but not absolutely certain. Deductive arguments are valid in the sense that if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. - Examples of inductive reasoning include scientific theories developed by generalization from experiments or observations. Deductive reasoning is used in formal logic and

    MATH 002 Lesson 3 Assignment

    Name: ______LYKA C. VIDAL________________ Score: ______/30____

    Year & Section:______BSRT-1 ______________ Date: _____________________________________

    A. Write each of the statements in symbolic form. (2 points each)


    B. Let v: “I will take a vacation
    p: “I get the promotion,”
    t: “I am transferred”

    1. If I am not transferred, then I will take a vacation. _________t v_________


    2. If I am transferred, then I will not take a vacation. _________t ~ v ________
    3. If I will not take a vacation, then I will not be transferred and I get the promotion.
    ___(~ v)_ ___(~t ^ p)__
    4. If I am not transferred and I get the promotion, then I will take a vacation.
    ____(~t ^ p ) ____(v)_______________
    5. If I get the promotion, then I am transferred and I will take a vacation.
    ____(p) (t ^ v)___________________

    C. Determine whether the following argument is valid or invalid. (10 pts.)


    “If I can’t buy the house (b), then at least I can dream about it (d). I can buy the house or at
    least I can dream about it. Therefore, I can buy the house.”

    b d

    ~ b v d_____
    :. ~ b

    Truth table

    b d b d ~bvd ~b
    T T T T F
    T F F F F
    F T T T T
    F F T T T
    Conclusion is true, first premise and second premise are both true
    - Argument is valid
    D. In the movie Shrek 3, Prince Charming asked Pinocchio “Where is Shrek?” Since Pinocchio
    can’t lie because Prince Charming will know if he’s lying, he replied with “ I don’t know where
    he’s not.” Is this response logically equivalent to “I know where he is.”? Examine the
    statement, “If I don’t know where Shrek is not (~q), then I know where he is (p).” in symbolic
    logic using a truth table. Identify if it is a tautology, contradiction or contingency. (10 pts.)

    p q p q ~q p
    T T T T
    T T T T
    T F F T
    T F F F
    T T F F
    F T F F

    From the truth table, it is neither a tautology nor a contradiction. Therefore, it is contingency.
