Risk ratios are used to compare the proportion of a particular racial/ethnic group served under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) to the proportion served among the other racial/ethnic groups combined. This helps to identify potential disparities in access to special education services for certain groups. Option A refers to normal distribution and standard deviation, option C refers to percentile ranks, and option D refers to standardized scores and group comparisons, which are not the same as risk ratios.
