I once went to a football game, and my team lost. so, the next time i go to one of their games they will lose again." This is an example of a weak inductive argument. Inductive reasoning allows for the possibility that the conclusion is false and inductive argument is an argument that is intended to be strong rather than valid. It is a failed inductive argument, because it is intended to be strong but is in fact weak.
