Tell whether inductive or deductive reasoning is involved. "The passing score is 40%. Out of 80 points, you got 35. So, you pass. Is this inductive or deductive reasoning?
Answer:
deductive reasoning
because 40% of 80 is 32, then you got 35 so you pass the exam.
80x 0.4 = 32
hence, you got 35.
35>32 so the statement is true.
then
the conclusion based on a fact. So, it is deductive reasoning.
