question
a study was performed with a random sample of 5 people from a certain city. what population would be appropriate for generalizing conclusions from the study, assuming the data collection methods used did not introduce biases?
select the correct answer below:

• the conclusions should be restricted to only the city that was sampled.
• the conclusions are generalizable to all people on earth.
• the conclusions are generalizable to all people in the country.
• the conclusions apply only to the sample.
• the conclusions apply to people in any city.

Explanation:

When a random sample is taken from a specific city (with no data collection bias), the conclusions can only be generalized to the population from which the sample was drawn, as the sample is representative of that specific city, not broader groups like the whole country, all people on Earth, or any city, nor is it limited only to the sample itself.

Answer:

The conclusions should be restricted to only the city that was sampled.
