You eat at several Asian restaurants and decide that Asian food is salty. What type of reasoning is this?

Inductive reasoning: since you found that in multiple [b]premises[/b], the food was salty at [b]all or most[/b] of the Asian restaurants you ate at, you made a [b]conclusion[/b] that [b]all[/b] Asian food is salty. Deductive reasoning would be if all Asian food was salty, at all the Asian restaurants you would go to, the food would be salty.
