Decide whether the argument is an example of inductive or deductive reasoning. 31 + 31 = 62, 23 + 3 = 26, 37 + 11 = 48. Therefore, the sum of two prime numbers is even.

Reasoning and Proofs
Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
Does each conclusion use inductive or deductive reasoning? Determine if the conjecture is valid by the Law of Detachment. Given: If one integer is odd and another integer is even, their product is even. The product of two integers is 24 Conjecture: One of the two integers is odd.
