Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Johnson is trying to create a representative sample that reflects the demographic distribution of the population he is testing. He has established specific percentages for different racial and ethnic groups, which indicates his intention to create a diverse and representative sample. Option A, normalization group, refers to a group of individuals who have taken a particular test under standardized conditions, and their scores are used to establish a norm for that test. Option C, random sample, refers to a sample of individuals selected randomly from a population with a probability of selection that is equal for every member of the population. Option D, population statistics, refers to numerical information about a population, such as its size, distribution, and characteristics. None of these options accurately describe Dr. Johnson's efforts to establish norms for his test.
