deductive reasoning
The reasoning of proving whether the experiment works or not, is acceptable or not, is reasonable or not.
A Theory is a hypothesis that has withstood testing, but cannot be proven infallibly true, meaning that the only way to form a theory is through scientific testing. Reasoning is necessary to form a hypothesis, which will be considered a theory once tested and supported by the results. Two types of reasoning are Inductive Reasoning and Deductive Reasoning.Inductive ReasoningMaking observations and extrapolating to come to a conclusion beyond the scope of current information. i.e.The grass outside is greenthereforeAll grass is greenDeductive ReasoningUsing logic to reach a conclusion, specifically when the conclusion necessarily follows the premise(s). i.e.This mouse is grayandAll gray mice are fastthereforeThis mouse is fastOnce you have a hypothesis, it can be tested using the Scientific Method.Scientific MethodAsk a questionDo background researchConstruct a hypothesisTest your hypothesis using an experimentAnalyze data and draw a conclusionCommunicate your resultsIf the results of the experiment support the hypothesis, then it is considered true. If others are able to duplicate the experiment and achieve the same results, the hypothesis will be considered a theory.inductive
Discovery science is mostly about describing nature, whereas hypothesis-driven science tries to explain nature.
Inductive reasoning makes generalizations from specific facts, and would therefore be more closely tied to forming theories.

The word hypothesis is a singular, common, abstract noun; a word for a supposition or proposed explanation; a proposition made as a basis for reasoning.

The kind of reasoning you do on your fingers.
Inductive reasoning. :)
Inductive reasoning
A problem is a kind of question. A hypothesis is a kind of estimate of how something works or why it doesn't work, or is, or is not, or might eventually be.
