What type of reasoning uses the general knowlwdge of science to make predictions about specific cases?

The type of reasoning that uses general knowledge of science to make predictions about specific cases is called deductive reasoning. This approach starts with a general principle or theory and applies it to a specific situation to draw a conclusion. It often involves using established scientific laws or theories to infer outcomes in particular instances. This contrasts with inductive reasoning, which involves drawing general conclusions from specific observations.
