Is the following an example of inductive reasoning or deductive reasoning?

The local meteorologist predicts heavy rain in the afternoon. Instead of planning to walk to your friend’s house after band practice, you arrange for your mother to give you a ride there and to pick you up.

A. Inductive reasoning
B. Deductive reasoning

Sagot :

B. Deductive reasoning because deductive reasoning is to reach a conclusion logically which is shown in the above example, but inductive reasoning is a broad generalisation from specific observations. For example, an inductive reasoning would be saying 'grand-father is bald, therefore, all grandfathers are bald.' This of course isn't true!
Hope this helps :)
