The characteristic of a simple random sample that makes it possible to generalize results from the sample to the population from which it has been selected is that:

A simple random sample is a sample that has been randomly selected from a population such that each individual in the population has an equal chance of being chosen for inclusion. This means that each individual’s responses are not influenced by the responses of any other individual, so the sample should be representative of the population as whole. This makes it possible to generalize the results obtained from the sample to the whole population, as the sample is a representative of the population.
