DUE DATE: 30 JUNE 2026
QUESTION 1.
1.1 Categorise the Following Statements into Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
Statement Answer
1.1.1. After reviewing several research articles, I noticed that studies with
Inductive
larger sample sizes tend to produce more reliable results; therefore, larger
reasoning
samples are generally better for research.
1.1.2. All credible research studies are based on evidence. This study is based Deductive
on evidence. Therefore, this study is credible. reasoning
1.1.3. Most students who practice critical thinking exercises regularly improve
Inductive
their problem-solving skills, so regular practice likely strengthens critical
reasoning
reasoning abilities.
1.1.4. If an argument contains logical fallacies, then it is weak. This argument Deductive
contains logical fallacies. Therefore, this argument is weak. reasoning
1.1.5. All valid conclusions must follow from the evidence presented. This
Deductive
conclusion does not follow from the evidence presented. Therefore, this
reasoning
conclusion is not valid.
1.1.6. In the past three group projects, learners who communicated
Inductive
effectively achieved higher marks; therefore, effective communication usually
reasoning
contributes to academic success.
1.1.7. Many researchers who use credible and up-to-date sources produce Inductive
stronger arguments, so using reliable evidence generally improves the quality reasoning
