The type of reasoning that forms a conclusion based on the examination of specific examples is called inductive reasoning. The conclusion formed by inductive reasoning is a hypothesis, or an assumption based on the collected evidence. Use inductive reasoning to predict the next number in each sequence below: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.
Sri K.
Inductive reasoning is the type of reasoning that involves: Select one or more: a. begins with thinking up a theory about our topic of interest. We then narrow that down into more specific hypotheses that we can test. b. works from the more general to the more specific. Sometimes this is informally called a "top-down" approach. c. using patterns and specific examples to arrive at a theory. d. 'cause-and-effect reasoning' or 'bottom-up reasoning' because it seeks to prove a conclusion first.
Adi S.
