when hume talks of induction, or kowing event B to follow event A he uses the example of the sun rising a lot. he says because the sun rises everyday you have no reason to believe it will not rise the next day. this is induction because there is not proof that the sun will rise again but common sense tells you because it rose to day and yesterday and the day before and the day before that, that it will indeed rise tomorrow. hume says that induction is not rational because you have no concrete way to proove it will happen even if common sense tells you it will.

I agree with this because no one in the entire world knows what can really go on in this world tomorrow or in the future. Most people just believe that the sun will rise everyday. It isn't the first thing on peoples mind to think that the sun won't rise tomorrow, so they have it instilled in thier heads that it will anyways
