Incomplete/unclear question. The correct question read;

88% of all Rutgers/Newark students will get drunk this weekend. P2: Booze-Head is a Rutgers/Newark student. Can it be inductively concluded that Booze-Head will not get drunk this weekend?

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, inductive reasoning is often based on broad generalizations from specific observations.

So since from this scenario, a broad generalization was made that 88% of Rutgers/Newark students will get drunk this weekend, it seems unlikely and illogical that Booze will not be among those getting drunk on the weekend.
