Inductive reasoning is a method of reasoning in which a general conclusion is drawn from specific examples or patterns.

A conjecture is a statement that is believed to be true based on observations but has not yet been proven.

Inductive reasoning involves drawing general conclusions from specific instances, while deductive reasoning involves applying general principles to reach specific conclusions.

A counterexample is used to demonstrate that a conjecture is not universally true.
