Answer:

inductive

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is based on generalization, and making conclusions without hard evidence. If Micheal has red hair and is from Chicago, inductive reasoning draws the conclusion that everyone in Chicago has red hair. Deductive reasoning would be predicting that everyone in Chicago has red hair, and then testing it to see if you are right.
