Solution Summary

This solution discusses how nonparametric tests compare to the power of parametric tests in statistics. Includes APA formatted reference.

Solution Preview

Nonparametric statistical tests are not as powerful than parametric statistical tests. Nonparametric statistical tests are more likely to reject a null hypothesis when it is false (Tokunaga, 2016). Parametric tests are based on statistical assumptions. There are four main assumptions that must be satisfied, which are ...

  • Parametric & Nonparametric Testing

    The strength of parametric testing is that the statistician gets more statistical power to detect differences. There is greater precision and data is not wasted. Further, higher ordered interactions are possible with parametric procedures.
