Let's classify each argument as deductive or inductive.

(a)

  1. I ate a chili dog at Joe's and got indigestion.
  2. I ate a chili dog at Ruby's and got indigestion.

Therefore, chili dogs give me indigestion.

The answer is inductive.

Explanation:

  • Inductive reasoning involves making generalizations based on specific observations or experiences. In this case, the conclusion that "chili dogs give me indigestion" is based on two specific instances of eating chili dogs and experiencing indigestion. This is a generalization from specific cases, which is characteristic of inductive reasoning.

(b)

  1. All spicy foods give me indigestion.
  2. Chili dogs are spicy food.

Therefore, chili dogs give me indigestion.

The answer is deductive.

Explanation:

  • Deductive reasoning involves drawing a specific conclusion from general premises. Here, the argument starts with a general statement ("All spicy foods give me indigestion") and a specific instance that falls under that general category ("Chili dogs are spicy food"). The conclusion ("Chili dogs give me indigestion") logically follows from the premises, making this a deductive argument.
