Inductive Argument

Inductive argument happens very often in our daily life without us realizing it. Inductive argument reasons by concluding with educated guesses. For an example, I have the same professor for two of my classes. My professor decided to cancel our afternoon class due to a field trip she needed to attend to. The field trip is from 9 A.M to 5 P.M. Therefore, my teacher is probably going to cancel our morning class as well. To prove the validity of this reasoning, I broke it down. My teacher canceled our afternoon class because she will be gone for a field trip. Since the field trip will be happening during the hours of 9 to 5, based on these premises, I concluded that it is very likely my professor will cancel our morning class at 9 A.M as well. The next morning, I received an email from my professor confirming that both of our classes will be canceled. It is very common to encounter errors in inductive arguments because it all relies on assumptions and using your very own logical reasoning. However, in this case, my conclusion was right using inductive reasoning.
