Want to know:

A wrestler's ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. Each wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. If he finishes the tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. If he has a losing record, his ranking falls. If it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. The eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical victory.So a wrestler entering the final day of tournament on the bubble, with a 7-7 record, has far more to gain from a victory than an opponent with a record of 8-6 has to lose.—Freakonomics, Levitt and DubnerWhich type of reasoning is being used here?✔ deductiveinductiveWhat piece of information suggests that some wrestlers will have an incentive to cheat in certain matches?Wrestlers' rankings are based on their performances in elite tournaments.A wrestler with a 7-7 record has more to gain from winning than someone with a record of 8-6 has to lose.
