identifying logical reasoning\nsal records the arrival time for his bus every day of the week for two months. he observed that on thursdays the bus is at least 5 minutes later than the other days of the week. he creates this conjecture: if the bus is more than 5 minutes late, then it is thursday.\nwhat type of reasoning did sal use?\nsal observes that the bus is 10 minutes late. if his conjecture is true, what can be concluded?

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Sal makes a conjecture based on his observations over two - month period. Inductive reasoning involves making generalizations from specific observations. If his conjecture "If the bus is more than 5 minutes late, then it is Thursday" is true and he observes the bus is 10 minutes late (which is more than 5 minutes late), by the law of detachment in deductive reasoning, we can conclude it is Thursday.

Answer:

  1. Inductive reasoning
  2. It is Thursday.
