Inductive reasoning

Scientists use inductive reasoning to combine isolated facts into a plausible explanation or hypothesis

Inductive reasoning is a method of reasoning in which certain information is used to make a wide generalization that is viewed to be probable, allowing for the fact that the conclusion may be not true. Inductive reasoning is frequently employed in applications that involve forecasting, prediction, or behavior.
