Compare and contrast deductive reasoning and inductive reaso

Solution

Deductive reasoning

is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion.

Deductive reasoning, also called deductive logic, is the process of reasoning from one or more general statements regarding what is known to reach a logically certain conclusion.

Deductive reasoning uses given information, premises or accepted general rules to reach a proven conclusion

Inductive reasoning

reasoning in which the statements ( premises) are viewed as supplying strong evidence for the truth of the conclusion.

Inductive reasoning, also called induction or bottom-up logic, constructs or evaluates general propositions that are derived from specific examples.

inductive reasoning involves making generalizations based upon behavior observed in specific cases.

1.Uses patterns to arrive at a conclusion (inductive) vs. uses, facts, rules and definitions or properties to arrive at a conclusion (deductive).

2. If the premise is true, the conclusion must be true (deductive) vs. If the premises are true, the conclusion is probably true (inductive).

3.Facts are used which are definitely true (deductive) vs. Evidence is used instead of facts (inductive).
