SHORT ANSWER

1. Compare and contrast inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.

ANS:

In inductive reasoning, a particular set of facts is used as a basis to formulate a general rule; in

deductive reasoning, a general rule is applied to a specific case.

DIF: A OBJ: 2-1

NARRBEGIN: Steps 2-1

A student noticed that when a dog is cut, the dog periodically licks its wounds. Usually after a few

days, the wound begins to heal without ever showing signs of infection. The following steps outline

the student's line of reasoning:

A. I wonder why the dog's wound doesn't become infected.

B. The dog's saliva must prevent the growth of infection-causing bacteria.

C. I'll obtain a bacterial culture and grow the same kind of bacteria in two identical culture dishes.

Once the bacteria start growing, I'll add dog saliva to only one of the dishes and leave the other

alone. I'll cover both dishes. Then I'll observe what happens each day for a week.

D. Even after adding the dog saliva to one of the dishes, the bacteria continued to grow in both

dishes over the course of the week. However, the bacteria in the treated dish grew more slowly

than the bacteria in the untreated dish.

E. I think I'll try something else. I'll start with two identical culture dishes, as before, and use the

same kind of bacteria in each dish, but this time I'll treat one dish with dog saliva before I add

the bacteria. I'll observe what happens each day for a week.

NARREND

2. Why might the experimental design in step E be a better test of the student's hypothesis than the design

used in step C?

ANS:

Answers may vary. The hypothesis is framed around the idea that the dog's saliva prevents initial

bacterial growth, so testing to see whether bacteria begin to grow in the presence of dog saliva might

be a more accurate test of the hypothesis than testing to see if the saliva destroys or slows down the

growth of bacterial colonies that are already established.

PROBLEM

NARRBEGIN: Table 2-1

One hundred pregnant women and their developing fetuses were monitored over the course of

pregnancy in a study designed to compare the average weight gain of a woman during pregnancy with

the average weight gain of the developing fetus. This is shown in Table 2-1. (Note that the weight gain

of the developing fetus is its actual weight.)

1. Using Table 2-1, how does the mother's rate of weight gain compare with the rate of weight gain of the

developing fetus?

ANS:

The mother gains weight much more rapidly than the developing fetus.
