Use the following for questions 20-25

Dental disease in domestic cats is commonly associated with the accumulation of plaque on the teeth. A cat food manufacturer is studying the accumulation of plaque on the teeth of cats from a certain population. The accumulation of plaque is assessed using a fluorescent light technique (FLT), where an evaluator reviews images of the cat's teeth and assigns an overall rating from 0 to 100, with lower values indicating less plaque.

The manufacturer conducted a study to answer the question:  How large is the size of the difference in accumulation of plaque on the teeth of cats between a new dental treat and the existing dental treat? The manufacturer randomly assigned 70 cats from a cat sanctuary to receive one of the two dental treats, with 35 receiving the new treat and 35 receiving the existing treat. At the end of the study, an evaluator, who was not aware of each cat's assigned dental treat, determined the FLT rating for each cat.

I just needed help with this question below...

Can the findings of the study be generalized to all cats? Explain why or why not, based on the design of the study.
