Theoretical Statistics
External validity refers to the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized or applied to settings, populations, and times beyond the specific conditions of the study. It is crucial for determining how findings from a sample can inform broader conclusions about a population. High external validity ensures that a study's outcomes are not just limited to the sample studied but can be relevant and useful in real-world contexts.
