Deductive reasoning also is scientific reasoning. Because during the scientific process, deductive reasoning is used to reach logical true conclusion.The secientific method used deduction to test the hypothesis and theories .in deduction, we hold a theory and can make a predictiion on the basis of it's consequence .besides deduction can be revised in light of new evidence and experience and generalize new principle and theories.

But induction reasoning is making broad generalization on the basis of specifc observation. There is data and conclusion are bring out from this data.in inductive inference, we go specifc to general . We make many observation and premise then can generalized the fact .if induction reasoning single premises or observation is false then conclusion will be also false but

In case of deduction reasoning, if something is true of a class of things is general , it is also true all member of classes.

Induction is bottom up aproach where deduction is down up approch.

Induction also has place in scientific method .

Scientist use it for hypothesis and throries where deduction allows them to apply theories in specifc situation.

Induction by it's nature is more open ended and exploratory specially at begning where deduction is more narrow in nature and only used in conformity of hypothesis.

The Case In How Doctors Think, author Dr. Jerome Groopman reflects on the reasoning process that doctors use to arrive at a diagnosis. He refers to the problem of physicians becoming “locked in” to a diagnosis so early in the process that they overlook the important clues. The result, very often, is an incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. The best example I can recall involved my twin brother, John. He had developed chronic pain in his right hip and was...
