Question

Hello can I have some helpThe options for the first drop-sown menu are:increasesdecreasesstays about the sameThe options for the second drop-down menu are:inductivedeductiveThe options for the third one are:specific casesfacts, properties, and rules of logic

Answer 1

So we have a table that tells us how fast can Julia run a mile each year. First we need to see if the time it takes her to run a mile increases, decreases or stay the same over the years. The times it take her to run a mile are:

`11.2,10.9,10.4,9.9,8.1`

As you can see the time get lower every year. For every year the time is lower than that of the year before. Then the answer to the first menu is decreases.

Now let's talk about inductive and deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is making an inference based on widely accepted facts or premises so basically it's based in facts, properties and rules of logic. Inductive reasoning on the other hand is making an inference based on an observation, often a sample. This means it is based in specific cases.

So the data we have comes from observation. We also only have the data of 5 years, not for the entire life of Julia. Then we are making an inference based on a sample. This means that the answer to the second menu is inductive and for the third menu is specific cases.
