Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standardizing the information by adjusting measures to a common base is a common statistical procedure that allows for a fair comparison of data across different categories or groups. This helps to eliminate biases and make valid conclusions about differences or similarities between the groups. Thus, option B is the correct answer. Option A is not appropriate as creativity is not relevant to this procedure. Option C is incorrect as the ecological fallacy refers to the assumption that the characteristics of individuals can be inferred from aggregated group data, which is not the case here. Option D is also incorrect as it is not related to standardizing information.
