Inductive reasoning: Reasoning that takes specific information and makes a broader generalization that is considered probable while that conclusion may not be 100% guaranteed.

Deductive reasoning: when you take two true statements to form a conclusion. It is used in science.

The argument is INDUCTIVE.

Since it is inductive, the last question is not applicable.

It is weak.
