Differentiating Deductive and Inductive Reasoning

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a clear and structured explanation of the difference between deductive and inductive reasoning, two fundamental types of logic used in mathematics and critical thinking. The lesson begins by defining reasoning as thinking logically and then breaks down the specific characteristics of each type. Deductive reasoning is defined as reaching a conclusion based on facts, guaranteeing a true result if the premises are true. Inductive reasoning is defined as making educated predictions based on observed patterns, which yields probable but not guaranteed conclusions.
