E. The hypothetico-deductive method
The seven-step process in the Hypothetico-Deductive
Method :
Deductive
Deductive reasoning works from the more general to the more specific.
Sometimes this is informally called a "top-down" approach
Theory -> Hypothesis -> Observation -> Confirmation
Inductive
Inductive reasoning works the other way, moving from specific observations to
broader generalizations and theories. Informally, we sometimes call this a
"bottom up" approach.
Observation -> Pattern ->Tentative hypothesis -> Theory
