Hello!

This statement is false.

Deductive reasoning is taking a given set of data, or a set of facts, and coming up with another set of facts that you know are true. This statement is more related to inductive reasoning than deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is basically looking for patterns or trends to come to a conclusion.
