Question

Which of the following statements is true? Nonparametric methods can be applied to a wider variety of problems because they have more rigid requirements than parametric methods. Nonparametric methods can be applied to a wider variety of problems because they have less rigid requirements than parametric methods. Unlike parametric methods, nonparametric methods cannot be applied to categorical data that lack numeric values. Nonparametric methods can be applied to a wider variety of problems because they have less rigid requirements than parametric methods and unlike parametric methods, nonparametric methods cannot be applied to categorical data that lack numeric values. None of these.

Explanation / Answer

Non parametric tests are based on fewer assumptions, and of which it primarily does not assume that the population from which the sample has been drawn is normally distributed. Moreover, it is used when data follows ordinal level of measurement, that is having rank, or having distinct outliers. In any case, less assumptions only reduce the power of the test, but it is easy and widely used. Therefore, statement b is correct.
