The density of gold is 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. Rachel determines that the density of a coin is 18.7 grams per cubic centimeter. Based on this evidence, she concludes that the coin is not gold or at least not entirely gold. Is this an example of inductive or deductive reasoning?

The reasoning is  a deductive.

  The reason is because the pattern of  thought is logical, here, scientific methods ( i.e mathematically obtaining and comparing the density of the coin and the  gold ) are used to support the conclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gnerally the reasoning is  a deductive.

  The reason is because the pattern of  thought is logical and scientific methods (eg mathematical equation (formula for density)) are applied to arrive at the  conclusion.
