CH 11- Inductive Reasoning

Inductive reasoning is a method used to discover new information or to supply missing information. When using inductive reasoning we observe, test, and check things out in a systematic way. Induction reasons from evidence about some members of a class in order to form a conclusion about all members of that class. Induction can be done through senory observation, enumeration, analogous reasoning, casual reasoning, and pattern recognition. An inductive study is a generalization that is probable but not certain.
