Eric Brennan · Answer 1

Generalizable

Explanation:

It is always not possible to select the entire population to conduct a study. So, a sample is chosen from the population which has the same differences of factors in equal proportions. Only then will the research be considered as valid for the whole population.

When the sample represents the population completely then the results of the study can be extended to the population. This is known as generalization.

Hence, the question is referring to generalizable.
