This passage is an example of inductive reasoning because it draws a general conclusion based on specific observations. By noting the actions of individual ants, it makes a broader claim about the behavior of ants as a group. Inductive reasoning involves making generalizations from specific instances, which is evident in this passage.

What type of reasoning involves us many specific pieces of evidence to make generalizations?

inductive reasoningThe type of reasoning that involves using specific pieces of evidence to make generalizations are called inductive reasons.


What is a conclusion reached through inductive reasoning?

Deductive reasoning goes from a general to a specific instance. For example, if we say all primes other than two are odd, deductive reasoning would let us say that 210000212343848212 is not prime. Here is a more "classic"example of deductive reasoning. All apples are fruits All fruits grow on trees Therefore, all apples grow on trees

Examples of deductive logic?

This is a concept made more complex than necessary. The two complementary processes of inductive vs. deductive are very simply and easily understood. Consider the number series; 3, 5, 7, 'x', 11, 13, 15, 'y' Simple inspection shows this to be a series of 'odd' numbers, what a mathematician would call 'n+1'. Inductive vs. deductive simply describes the 'type' of reasoning used to determine either 'x' or 'y'. Because it lies 'inside' the other data points, the 'deduction' that 'x'=9 is reached by deductive logic, or, deductive reasoning. We 'deduce' x=9. 'y', on the other hand, lies 'outside' the data, i.e. we don't have a '19' on the 'right' of the 'y' to help us 'deduce' the answer. Much riskier than deductive logic/reasoning, we are forced to use less evidence than we did for the 'x' case. This method is called 'inductive logic/reasoning'. For those who've been exposed to just a little math, this process might seem similar to the dual processes of interpolation and extrapolation...that's because...they are. Identical. Smile, nod and thank those who try to convince you there's 'more to it than THAT!!!'. There isn't. 'Guessing' about anything from 'inside' the data = Deduction/Deductive Reasoning/Deductive Logic = fairly 'safe' procedure = (also) Interpolation. 'Guessing' about anything from 'outside' the data = Induction/Inductive Reasoning/Inductive Logic = slightly riskier procedure = (also) Extrapolation Example of Deductive Logic/Reasoning; Sign directly above two identical unmarked doors, saying 'Customer Restrooms'. Man exits 'left' door. Another man exits 'left' door. Person, with 'hoodie' up, leaves 'left' door. Fourth person, man, exits 'left' door. Deduction? Third person, of unknown gender, exiting 'left' door, was a man. Example of Inductive Logic/Reasoning (same scenario); 'Right' door is the 'ladies'. It really is just that simple.
