Parametric tests are specifically designed to make inferences about population means and assume that the data follows a normal distribution. Examples of such tests include t-tests and ANOVA. Non-parametric tests do not rely on this assumption and are used when the data does not follow a normal distribution. Therefore, parametric tests are the best choice for making statements about the means of parent populations.
