The students in the sample
All students at the school
All middle school students in the city
All students in the city
Explanation
Correct answer: B.
Choice B is correct. The largest group to which the results of a study can be generalized is the population from which the random sample was chosen. In this case, the psychologist chose a random sample from all students at one particular middle school. Therefore, the largest group to which the results can be generalized is all the students at the school.
Why the other choices are wrong
Choice A
Choice A is incorrect because this isn't the largest group the results can be generalized to.
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect because this group is larger than the population from which the random sample was chosen. Therefore, the sample isn't representative of this group.
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect because this group is larger than the population from which the random sample was chosen. Therefore, the sample isn't representative of this group.
