What is an example of inductive reasoning?
Deductive reasoning flows from general to the specific. Used in hypothesis driven
science. - ANSWER-What is deductive reasoning?
If all animals have cells and humans are animals, then humans should have cells. This
is a prediction about a specific case based on the general premises. - ANSWER-What
is an example of deductive reasoning?
Scientific method involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a
hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstration the truth or
falseness of the hypothesis, and results that validate or modify the hypothesis. -
