I disagree with dat cos

Deductive reasoning is a logical process in which conclusion is based on concordance of multiple premises that are generally assumed to be true

I.e where Deductive reasoning proceeds from

general premises to a specific conclusion, its counterpart Inductive reasons proceeds from a Specific premises to a general conclusion

. Price of yam there is a Specific which is used for a general conclusion so it is Inductive reasoning. I stand to b corrected.

Inductive reasoning is a method of reasoning in which the premises are viewed as supplying some evidence for the truth of the conclusion; this is in contrast to deductive reasoning. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument may be probable, based upon the evidence given.
