Pick the BEST answer: A real estate agent wants to estimate the number of schools that will close over the next five years in a city of 500,000 people. She finds that during the past ten years, ten schools have closed. All have been near the center of the city, where the population is aging. The population of the city is growing in the suburbs but declining in the center. She reasons that one school per year has been closed and concludes that over the next five years, five more schools will probably close. a. This is a strong inductive generalization O b. This is a weak inductive generalization Oc. This is a description and not an argument C. Od. This is not an inductive generalization Oe. This is a deductively valid argument A Pick the BEST answer: A real estate agent wants to estimate the number of schools that will close over the next five years in a city of 500,000 people.
