Choose which reasoning process is shown in the following example. Explain your answer. An HMO does a​ follow-up study on 1328 randomly selected patients given a flu shot. None of these people became seriously ill with the flu. The study concludes that all HMO patients be urged to get a flu shot in order to prevent a serious case of the flu. A. It is deductive reasoning because additional information may prove that other patients may not have taken the flu shot and still did not catch a serious case of the flu. B. It is deductive reasoning because a general conclusion is drawn based on specific observations. C. It is inductive reasoning because a general conclusion is drawn based on specific observations. D. It is inductive reasoning because the flu is epidemic. If someone does not take the flu shot there is a great possibility for that person to catch a serious case of the flu.

C. It is inductive reasoning because a general conclusion is drawn based on specific observations.

Counterexample

A patient in the emergency room is monitored for heart​ rate, oxygenation​ level, etc. The nurse notices that the heart beat averages 80 but drops to 60 beats every other minute and then spikes to 120. The cardiologists have asked the nurses to notify them if this​ happens, as that pattern is indicative of heart attacks. The nurse calls the doctor. Is the nurse using inductive or deductive​ reasoning?

Identify the reasoning​ process, induction or​ deduction, in the following example. Explain your answer. The course policy states that work turned in late will be marked down a grade. I turned in my report a day​ late, so it was marked down from B to C. This is an example of __________. The specific​ conclusion, __________ was arrived at from one or more general statements.

Deductive Reasoning. The report is marked down from a B to a C.

Arriving at a general conclusion based on observations of specific examples is called​ _______.

Inductive Reasoning

You read the newspaper daily.​ Lately, you have noticed more articles about increased tuition at various public and private colleges and universities.
