The document discusses two types of arguments: deductive and inductive. A deductive argument is one where the conclusion necessarily follows from the premises. An example is: All bats are mammals; all mammals are warm-blooded; so all bats are warm-blooded. An inductive argument is one where the conclusion is probable rather than necessary, such as: Most law students own laptops; Mehmood is a law student; so Mehmood probably owns a laptop. The key difference is that deductive arguments lead to necessary conclusions while inductive arguments lead to probable conclusions.
