Answer 1

The two examples of inductive reasoning from the given statements are 'Those people running that race are crazy. All runners are crazy.' and 'All basketball referees are awful. Why would anyone want to be a basketball referee?'

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning, or generalizing, involves making broad generalizations based on specific observations. Two examples of inductive reasoning from the given statements are:

• "Those people running that race are crazy. All runners are crazy."
• "All basketball referees are awful. Why would anyone want to be a basketball referee?"

These statements represent inductive reasoning because they take a specific observation about a group of people (runners or referees) and generalize that observation to apply it to all individuals within those groups.
