conclusion	the part of a logical statement that provides the result or consequences of the hypothesis—In a statement “If x then y”, the conclusion is y.
conjecture	a statement that attempts to make a conclusion but has not been proved true or false
counterexample	a situation that provides evidence that a logical statement is false
deductive reasoning	a form of logical thinking that uses generalizations to draw specific conclusions based on a series of logical steps, deductive reasoning may use rules, laws, and theories to support or justify a conjecture
generalize	the process of using observations of specific events to make statements or conjectures about more general situations
hypothesis	the part of a logical statement that provides the premise on which the conclusion is based—In a statement “If x then y,” the hypothesis is x.
inductive reasoning	a form of logical thinking that makes general conclusions based on specific situations, inductive reasoning takes the path of observation to generalization to conjecture
justify	provide a logical argument for a conclusion or conjecture
logical argument	a series of statements, each verifiable as true, that lead to a conclusion
logical statement	a statement that allows drawing a conclusion or result based on a hypothesis or premise
