Question

sal records the arrival time for his bus every day of the week for two months. he observed that on thursday the bus is at least 5 minutes later than the other days of the week. he creates this conjecture: if the bus is more than 5 minutes late, then it is thursday.what type of reasoning did sal use?sal observes that the bus is 10 minutes late. if his conjecture is true, what can be concluded?

Explanation:

For the first question: Sal used specific observations of bus arrival times over two months to form a general conjecture, which is inductive reasoning.
For the second question: Sal's conjecture states that if the bus is more than 5 minutes late, then it is Thursday. Since 10 minutes late meets the condition of "more than 5 minutes late", we apply the conjecture directly.

Answer:

1. Inductive Reasoning
2. It is Thursday
