Inductive reasoning is a type of reasoning in which a universal law or principle is established from repeated observations of the same phenomena.[1]

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."[2]
