Deductive and Inductive Arguments
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A deductive argument claims its conclusion follows necessarily from its premises; an inductive argument claims probable support. The claim, not its success, classifies the argument.
Show
"Every planet orbits; Mars is a planet; so Mars orbits"—deductive. "The bakery has opened at seven all year; it will tomorrow"—inductive.
Watch for
"Deductive" is a category, not a compliment. Each type answers to its own standard.
