Group of answer choices Inductive, strong Deductive, valid Inductive, weak Deductive, invalid

Inductive, weak

Explanation:

An inductive reasoning is the opposite of deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning applies knowledge of past experiences and observations to form conclusions. The premise and conclusion goes "if this happened now... this must then happen". This type of reasoning moves from specific to general as opposed to deductive reasoning that moves from general to specific.

The argument in our question is also a fallacy. A fallacy is a faulty logic or weak argument. The argument is a fallacy of faulty generalization, the typical "jumping into conclusion".
