4. Objectives Make conjectures based on inductive reasoning Find counterexamples

5. Vocabulary Conjecture – an educated guess based on known information Inductive reasoning – reasoning that uses a number of specific examples to arrive at a plausible generalization or prediction Counterexample – a false example

7. Make a conjecture about the next number based on the pattern. 2, 4, 12, 48, 240 Answer: 1440 Find a pattern: 2 4 12 48 240 ×2×2 The numbers are multiplied by 2, 3, 4, and 5. Conjecture: The next number will be multiplied by 6. So, it will be or 1440. ×3×3×4×4×5×5 Example 1

8. Make a conjecture about the next number based on the pattern. Answer: The next number will be Example 2

9. UNEMPLOYMENT Based on the table showing unemployment rates for various cities in Kansas, find a counterexample for the following statement: “The unemployment rate is highest in the cities with the most people.” CountyCivilian Labor ForceRate Shawnee90,2543.1% Jefferson 9,9373.0% Jackson 8,9152.8% Douglas55,7303.2% Osage10,1824.0% Wabaunsee 3,5753.0% Pottawatomie11,0252.1% Source: Labor Market Information Services– Kansas Department of Human Resources Example 3

10. Examine the data in the table. Find two cities such that the population of the first is greater than the population of the second while the unemployment rate of the first is less than the unemployment rate of the second. Shawnee has a greater population than Osage while Shawnee has a lower unemployment rate than Osage. Answer: Osage has only 10,182 people on its civilian labor force, and it has a higher rate of unemployment than Shawnee, which has 90,254 people on its civilian labor force. Example 3 cont

11. DRIVING The table below shows selected states, the 2000 population of each state, and the number of people per 1000 residents who are licensed drivers in each state. Based on the table, find a counterexample for the following statement: “The greater the population of a state, the lower the number of drivers per 1000 residents.” StatePopulationLicensed Drivers per 1000 Alabama 4,447,100792 California33,871,648627 Texas20,851,820646 Vermont 608,827831 West Virginia 1,808,344745 Wisconsin 5,363,675703 Source: The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2003 Answer: Alabama has a greater population than West Virginia, and it has more drivers per 1000 than West Virginia.
