Document Summary
First, a person acquires observations and data that seem to have a pattern to it. From there, they make an educated statement, a hypothesis, to be put to test in experiments or further observations, which are conducted in a controlled setting. Then the data and observation are analyzed and used to make predictions when a similar pattern/situation occurs. Inductive reasoning is using specific examples to reach a general conclusion and deductive reasoning is the opposite of it using a general known conclusion to reach a specific result. No, a hypothesis can never be proven true because the results of an experiment can only support the hypothesis. Since there are many factors not taken into account during the experiment, even if the experimenter were to test it out for multiple cases, there would always be some kind of doubt/ what-ifs involved.
