Faulty generalization

A faulty generalization, also known as an inductive fallacy, is any of several errors of inductive inference. Such a generalization proceeds from a premise about a sample to a conclusion about the population. Faulty generalization is a mode of thinking that takes knowledge from one group's or person's experiences and incorrectly extends it to another.
