Inductive reasoning is weaker than deductive reasoning because inductive reasoning is known as bottom-up logic where as deductive reasoning is known as top-down logic.

specific to general

Deductive reasoning is when researchers work from general information to more specific information. Inductive reasoning is when researchers work from specific observations to theories and generalizations.

Inductive reasoning use theories and assumptions to validate observations. It involves reasoning from a specific case or cases to derive a general rule. The result of inductive reasoning are not always certain because it uses conclusion from observations to make generalizations. Inductive reasoning is helpful for extrapolation, prediction, and part to whole arguments.
