Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is characterized as a method of reasoning in which some premises are given as evidence of the truth of a conclusion (in colloquial terms, premises are particular instances or cases that can build up towards a general conclusion). The conclusion may end up proving to be false; however, this is not known until after the premises have been worked out. In this way, it could be said that a hypothesis, that is to say, the probability of a premise being evidence of the truth of a conclusion, is based on inductive reasoning.
