Deductive or Inductive?
While sitting in a large waiting area of a car dealer, Leslie notices that the walls are lined with a number of photographs of various landscapes, sunsets, mountains and forest scenes. The closest framed photograph, which is about 18" by 30", is priced at $199.00. Without getting up, Leslie reasons that all the other photographs in the waiting area must be the same price since their subject matter is similar, all the frames are the same quality, and they all appear to be the same size.
