Stat Series- 1.1 What are Parametric and Non Parametric tests?

Question: What are Parametric and Non Parametric tests?
Answer:

Parametric Tests
Non-parametric Test
These tests make assumptions about nature of population which we are studying. E.g. we are assuming that the population follows a certain type of distribution, say Normal. Hence a lot of conclusions can be driven about population based on the sample data.  No such assumptions are made and we consider that data may or may not follow certain distribution.
