John works for a government agency. He is conducting research to find the average income of American families. What type of norm does this describe?
  1. Age norms
  2. Grade norms
  3. National norms
  4. Subgroup norms
Explanation
Answer: C - National norms consider a nationally normative sample. National norms must be derived from a large enough sample that includes data representative of all variables of a population including race, religion, age, and location. In this example, the average income of a retired couple in Arkansas is likely very different than that of a young family in Los Angeles.
