Question

Berta is convinced that the birds in her area are laying eggs that are less hard-shelled since a new industrial plant was built and has been polluting the nearby waterways. She is gathering evidence to make her case by obtaining eggshells from before the plant was built for the purpose of comparison. Berta is engaging in the reasoning process. deductive hypothetico-deductive inductive reductive

00:01 A person noticed that her house plants better exposed to music seem to grow more quickly.
00:06 She determines the plants grow better when exposed to music.
00:09 Is this? inductive reasoning? deductive reasoning? neither or both.
00:16 Swat is the difference between inductive and deductive.
00:20 So, inductive is drawing a conclusion from observations.
00:27 Drawing a conclusion from observations.
00:31 So this is an important step to the scientific method because it can lead then to designing a hypothesis.
00:42 Deductive is seeing a generalized statement and then backing it up.
00:51 So you have a general statement and you take it to a specific conclusion.
01:01 So they can go together, possibly, because you could have some observations that you draw a conclusion from.
01:15 I mean, you can use those conclusions to use deductive reasoning.
01:20 For example, you could observe, in this case, that house plants are growing faster if there is music playing.
01:29 You can draw a conclusion from that saying, okay, house plants grow faster if exposed to music.
01:37 And then from that statement, you could take it to a conclusion that these plants will grow faster because they are in a room with music.
01:47 So the first bit would be inductive, the second bit deductive...
