Question

Indicate whether the following arguments are deductive or inductive.

 

II. Indicate whether the following arguments are deductive or inductive. 1. No triangle is a square because all triangles have three sides and squares have four sides. 2. Since more than half of all automobile accidents involve drivers under twenty-five, it follows that drivers under twenty-five are probably a greater driving risk than those older than twenty-five. 3. Smith missed work today. He must be ill because in the past he's only missed work when he's been ill. 4. The chances of rolling a five with a die are one in six. 5. The presidential candidate that Maine selects usually indicates the one whoʻll be elected. So, it's safe to say, "As Maine goes, so goes the nation."
