Will they recognise it as a reasonably representative body?
Thus the sample could be considered a "pragmatic catchment area" of the six investigated hospitals, and as such reasonably representative on a more generalized level.
This may cause a slightly higher mean nasal NO level among the investigated subjects; however, in view of our results we consider our study group as being reasonably representative for the source population.
Therefore, we obtained demographic and admission characteristics on all patients admitted to the ER during the study period, and a comparison with this information demonstrated that our study population can be considered as a reasonably representative sample of the target population with regard to these variables, and allowed us to standardise prevalence estimates.
These are z scores, for which 0 represents the mean, and 1 the SD, of the full TEDS sample, which as noted earlier is reasonably representative of the U.K. population.
As Tayside, Scotland, is reasonably representative of Scotland as a whole, it is likely that the results are generalizable within Scotland, where there is a national retinal photography screening program.
Manitoba is reasonably representative of Canada as a whole, generally ranking in the mid-range of a series of indicators of health status, health care expenditures, and education [ 25, 29].
It also means that studies of the yeast NPC are reasonably representative of the Eukaryota as a whole and are relevant for medically significant organisms, including ourselves.
One major assumption of age-at-harvest models is that the age distribution data obtained from the harvest are reasonably representative of the total harvest, as rarely would any management agency have access to age information on every harvested animal.
