Polls are a form of inductive generalization because they gather information from a number of people and generalize their findings to cover the rest of the population.

This is the final topic that will be addressed by me, on whether or not Daniel Dennett from the short story “Where am I?” should receive a new body or not from NASA. I have been chosen to analyze this situation and give my recommendation to the court on these philosophical matters. The last issue is to determine what, if anything, does Daniel Dennett deserve. To narrow that down some, the more precise objective of this question is to determine if Dennett deserves to be given a new body, or…

McMahon Group examined six focus groups at the country club comprised of 43 members (69%), 12 employees (19%), and 7 non-members (11%).
