is this inductive and deductive

Janelle got invited to a shopping spree with a friend and is supposed to meet her at the mall at 4:00 p.m. When she has gone to the mall in the past, she has noticed that it takes her 15 minutes to get ready before leaving her apartment. She concludes that she needs to start getting ready at 0:45 p.m.

This is an example of deductive reasoning, as Janelle is using a generalization from past experiences (that it takes her 15 minutes to get ready) to reach a specific conclusion (that she needs to start getting ready at 0:45 p.m.).
