PLEASE HELP MEEE!!!!

5. Jared visited his family doctor after suffering for days with a rash that appeared on his ankles and calves as soon as he arrived home from camp. Jared's doctor asked him several questions about his activities during the past week, including the places he'd been and the kind of clothing he wore. Then the doctor announced that Jared had a nasty case of polson Ivy.

What kind of reasoning did Jared's physician use to make a diagnosis? Explain how you you were able to tell what kind of reasoning was used.

Answer:

Deductive reasoning

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning, he was given some simple information and any person could simply assume he had poison ivy, as it was made clear he had most likely been around it. And deductive reasoning is basically reasoning based off a few questions from which you can draw a conclusion from.

Answer:

I would say Inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is defined as "A method of reasoning in which a body of observations is synthesized to come up with a general principle." and this is exactly what the doctor did to come up with his diagnosis.

Hope this helps you out a bit.
