    Deductive & Inductive Statistics

    Uploaded by

    Mwendalubi Chiholyonga
    This document defines and compares deductive and inductive reasoning. It provides examples to illustrate the differences: - Deductive reasoning moves from general principles to specific conclusions, while inductive reasoning moves from specific observations to broader generalizations. - Examples show deductive reasoning applying known equations and properties to solve problems, while inductive reasoning identifies patterns in data to form hypotheses or predictions. - The document aims to explain the key differences between deductive and inductive statistics through definitions and real-world examples.

    DEDUCTIVE &

    INDUCTIVE STATISTICS
    Math Tutorials by Mwendalubi
    DEFINITION
    • Inductive and deductive reasoning both strive to
    construct a valid argument. Therefore, inductive
    reasoning moves from specific instances/trends
    into a generalized conclusion, while deductive
    reasoning moves from generalized principles that
    are known to be true to a true and specific
    conclusion.

    EXAMPLE 1
    • Think about this real world problem:
    • To estimate the population of a town in upcoming years, one of the town workers
    collected populations from past years and made this table:
    • The town wants to estimate the population for 2015, 2018 and 2020. To do this,
    will you be using deductive or inductive reasoning? Because you are estimating
    and using facts therefore you are using Inductive reasoning

    1960 7958
    1970 8377

    REASONING
    • Hiram solved the equation 5 + = x + 7 using the following steps:
     
    • =x+7–5
    • = x + 2……….. =
    • = x + 2………square both sides
    • = ………..expand
    • x + 14 = …………move x + 14 to right hand side
    • – (x + 14) = 0

    • (x + 5) (x – 2) = 0
    • x = -5 or x = 2………substitute x values in original equation and select the x value that makes 5 + = x +
    7
    • ⸫ x = 2 (true), x = -5 (false)
    EXAMPLE 2
    •  
    Use deductive reasoning and the distributive property to justify . Provide the
    reasoning for each step.

    • = x(x + y) + y (x + y)
    • =
    • =
    INDUCTIVE REASONING
    •  Jill looked at the following sequence:
    • 0, 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, …..
    • She saw that the numbers were each one less than a square number and
    conjectured that the number would be - 1
    • Did Jill use inductive reasoning? Explain
    • Yes she used inductive reasoning because she conjectured meaning she just
    assumed that the number would be one less than a square number.
    EXAMPLE 3
    •  What is the number of the following sequence
    • 6, 9, 12, 15, …..
    • We see the pattern that 3 is been added to the next term, therefore we are going
    to conjecture that the formula is 3n + 3
    • ⸫ number = 3n + 3
    • = 3(5) + 3
    • = 15 + 3
    • = 18
