Explanation:

In inductive reasoning, the argument moves from a specific instance into a generalized conclusion, that is, it is a type of logical thinking that involves forming generalizations based on specific incidents. An inductive reasoning could be weak or strong. A weak inductive reasoning is such that the conclusion does not follow probably from the premises, even though it is claimed to. On the other hand, a strong, inductive argument is such that that it is improbable that the premises are true and the conclusion is false.
