Final answer:
The statement about Auggie's daughters' names is an example of inductive reasoning because it makes a broad generalization based on a pattern observed in specific instances.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'Auggie named his first three daughters April, May, and June. He'll name his next daughter July.' is an example of inductive reasoning, not deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is based on making broad generalizations from specific observations.
In this case, the observation of the names of the first three daughters is leading to a prediction about the name of the next daughter. This prediction does not guarantee truth, as it's inferred from a pattern rather than a logical premise that necessitates the conclusion.
The given statement is an example of deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is a type of reasoning that starts with a general statement or premise and uses logical inference to reach a specific conclusion. In this case, the general statement is that Auggie named his first three daughters April, May, and June, and the conclusion is that he'll name his next daughter July.
Therefore, the statement is an example of inductive reasoning, which may or may not be correct, and does not follow a deductive structure.
