An inductive reasoning is a logical process in which multiple premises,all believed true or found true most of the time,are combined to obtain a specific conclusion.
Inductive reasoning is process of observing data, recognizing patterns, and drawing conclusions based on these observations.
For example, let's say that an aspiring naturalist study <em>several different types of elephants,</em> and he sees that <em>each type of elephant has a trunk.</em> He can then use inductive reasoning to draw the conclusion that all elephants have trunks.
Note that the observations are in italics and the conclusion is in bold.
