Identify the fallacies in the passages below (Fallacies of Relevance and Inadequate Evidence)-Select only from these types. I know three red heads who have terrible tempers, and since Annabel has red hair, I'll bet she has a terrible temper too.

Answer:

The correct answer is : Hasty generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that fallacy is a conclusion based on faulty logic. In this case, there isn't enough information to give a conclusion, because the sample given is not representative. A hasty generalization is when you jump into a conclusion very quickly just by analyzing a few examples from the whole.
