Inductive reasoning involves making broad generalizations from specific observations. The conclusions reached through inductive reasoning are plausible and often appear as theories.
Deductive reasoning, on the other hand, starts with a general statement or hypothesis and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. If the premises are true, then the conclusion is guaranteed to be true.
