There are different kinds of logical reasoning, two of the most known are the deductive reasoning and the inductive reasoning.

In the deductive reasoning we come to a conclusion by giving previous statements, as in this example.

Premise 1: All birds has wings.

Premise 2: The chicken is a bird.

Conclusion: The chicken has wings.

By the other hand, in the inductive reasoning we came to a conclusion by a series of previous observations, coming from specific cases to a general case. As in this example.

Premise 1: The brown cat has a tail.

Premise 2: The black cat has a tail

Premise 3: The white cat has a tail.

Conclusion: All cats have tails.

For the inductive reasoning to be accurate, there must be a large number of premises (observations).

So, the answer would be inductive reasoning Answer:

inductive reasoning
