strategy. The four areas of research theories that I would like to review are deductive‚ inductive‚ grounded‚ and axiomatic. The first thing I am going to do is give a generalization of the four types of theories that I have provided. The reason for this is so that there can be a basic understanding of each type. Deductive reasoning takes information that is general and gives it a specific instance. An example of deductive reasoning would be that lions sleep twenty hours a day. Knowing that this

& 37 MAT-126: Survey of Mathematical Methods(ACO1141A) October 11‚ 2011 As one observes an arithmetic sequence‚ it is imperative to use inductive and deductive reasoning to use the right mathematical approach of geometric or arithmetic sequence to solve the equation in the most pragmatic way. Most times both inductive and deductive reasoning is used on an equation or variable to come up with the most direct approach to an answer (Bluman‚ 2005). The first problem # 35

Answer: First of all we must know the basic difference between Basic research and Applied research. The differences are given below: Applied Research: Applied research is basically a scientific study and used to solve practical problems. Its often used to solve everyday problems like cure disease‚ develop technology etc. Basic Research: The basic research is driven purely by curiosity and a desire to expand knowledge. This type of research tends not be applicable directly to the real world‚ but

In the first part of the assignment we were asked to identify components of arguments‚ premise and conclusion‚ for the passages. Where applicable we are to highlight key words or phrases that identify a claim as a premise or a conclusion. A premise is the support for the conclusion. (Missimer‚ 2005) The first example has several premises as follows if Sue’s baby is a boy it will be named Mark and if it is a girl it will be named Margaret. Another premise is that Sue will have a boy or girl. “So”

6.a) A deductive inference is a logical linguistic sense of validity meaning it takes the premises and the general ideas that come with them and provides a conclusion. Inductive inference is the opposite as it requires an evidential sense of validity that follows from the might of the evidence which means the conclusion is directly from what is stated in the premises. The difference being that deductive requires a knowledge outside of what is stated and inductive does not. b) Deductive is non-ampliative
