Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The normal distribution is used to compare an individual's scores on a test to the scores of a larger population. This allows for a better understanding of how that individual's scores compare to others and provides a relative measure. Correlation and scatter diagrams can be used to analyze relationships between variables but do not provide a relative measure. Research hypotheses are used to test predictions and do not directly assess relative measures.
