Solution Summary

Almost 200 words explain how parametric and nonparametric statistics are similar and different.

Solution Preview

Many non-parametric tests are based on ranked data. Data are ranked by ordering them from lowest to highest (in ascending order) and assigning them integer ranks from 1 to the maximum sample size. In case of ties, they are resolved by assigning the mean values of the ranks that they would have received ...
