Answer:

Hasty generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

This describes the fallacy of hasty generalization. This fallacy occurs when a conclusion is reached, despite the fact that the information is insufficient or biased. Therefore, the conclusion is not logically justified. This fallacy proceeds from the particular to the general, as it bases its conclusions on a small sample, and tries to extrapolate this information to the population at large.
