Specifically, inductive reasoning is a "method of reasoning where you make broad generalizations based on specific observations or experiences. It starts with a set of specific examples and moves towards a general conclusion or theory. This type of reasoning is often used in scientific research and everyday decision-making to identify patterns and make predictions."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+does+inductive+reasoning+work&sca_esv=4f2e2ee15bfedfaf&sxsrf=AE3TifOhP9HMLisjIPeaez_bgdKyNu9Hdg%3A1754610833101&ei=kTyVaOn5BbuAhbIPhsXhAQ&ved=0ahUKEwiphrTb8vmOAxU7QEEAHYZiOAAQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=how+does+inductive+reasoning+work&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiIWhvdyBkb2VzIGluZHVjdGl2ZSByZWFzb25pbmcgd29yazIEEAAYHjIIEAAYgAQYogQyBRAAGO8FMggQABiiBBiJBUj5KFC9C1joJHABeAGQAQCYAbsBoAHLFaoBBDAuMTe4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgugApwNwgIKEAAYsAMY1gQYR8ICBxAjGLACGCfCAggQABgHGAgYHsICCxAAGIAEGIYDGIoFwgIGEAAYBxgewgIIEAAYCBgNGB7CAgYQABgIGB6YAwCIBgGQBgiSBwQxLjEwoAewbbIHBDAuMTC4B5UNwgcFMC4zLjjIByc&sclient=gws-wiz-serp How does inductive reasoning work?]</ref>

Inductive logic is ampliative, but is famously less certain. In a strong inductive argument, even when the premises are true, it is still possible for the conclusion to be false. An example of an inductive argument is:
