Parametric tests make assumptions about the distribution of the data and are used when the data meet certain criteria, such as normality and equal variance. These tests provide inferences for making statements about the means of the parent populations. Non-parametric tests, on the other hand, do not require the same assumptions and are used when the data do not meet the criteria for parametric tests. Parallel and regression tests are not relevant in this context. E is not a valid choice as it is not a type of statistical test.
