Answer 1

Inductive argument

Inductive argument is an argument in which the premises provide reasons to support the conclusion but the thruth of this conclusion is not 100% establish. In this case, the premise says that owners of large media conglomerates are often wealthy individuals and this doesn't allow to be 100% sure that Mr. Murphy being the owner of a media conglomerate is a wealthy individual. The premise left a chance of him not being a wealthy individual.
