1. Induction is a form of argument structuring within which an individual will reach a conclusion /truth which will be generalised or extrapolated from a piece of instantaneous information. The trajectory of induction follows from one to many, from a specific instance to all.

2. Usually when trying to find the 'good' or 'bad' of inductive reasoning, it is termed as the strength of an argument. The strength of argument can either be great or less. How one can determine this is, as seen above in answer one, the premise is very important in establishing the final remark or conclusion. An inductive argument is good when the premise is sound and naturally leads to the conclusion of the argument. If it doesn't, then it is a bad argument.

3. Controlled studies are a good example of inductive as you take a sample and then try to generalize the findings to the rest of the target population. This follows the same trajectory of induction.
