I bought a pair of shoes from that store that immediately fell apart. Their shoes are no good" may commit which fallacy? Is it Appeal to ignorance, Hasty generalization, Ad pedibus or Begging the question
That is an example of Hasty generalization. [ Hasty generalization is a logical fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence — essentially making a hasty conclusion without considering all of the variables. In statistics, it may involve basing broad conclusions regarding the statistics of a survey from a small sample group that fails to sufficiently represent an entire population. ]
