Question

I do not understand the deductive method, or the inductive method. Will someone please explain to me what they are?

Answer 1

Deductive and Inductive are two methods of logical reasoning. Deductive reasoning works from the more general to the more specific, often referred to as a top down approach. We may start by thinking up a theory about our topic, and then narrow it down to a more specific hypotheses that we can test. We then narrow it down even more where we use observations to address the hypothesis, and then
draw our conclusion. Inductive reasoning works the other way, moving from more specific observations to broader generalizations and theories. This is often called a bottom up approach.

Answer 2

In inductive reasoning, we begin with specific observations and measures, begin to detect patterns and regularities, formulate some tentative hypotheses that we can explore, and finally end up developing some general conclusions or theories.
