Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonparametric statistics do not require the data to follow a specific distribution and are often used when the underlying data does not meet the assumptions of parametric statistics. Therefore, this is the correct answer choice. A, C, and D are not the best choices because population statistics refer to statistics about an entire population, parametric statistics assume that the data follows a specific distribution, and nondistribution is not a commonly used term in statistics.
