Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Statement I:Non-parametric tests are not easy to use and are rather slow, requiring laborious computations.
Statement II:Non-parametric tests do not suppose any particular distribution and the consequential assumptions.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation
Non-parametric tests are actually easy to use and quick, so Statement 1 calling them hard and slow is false.
They often rely on ranks or counts and need little computation.
Statement 2 is true because non-parametric tests make no assumption about a particular distribution or its consequent assumptions.
They are therefore called distribution-free methods.
They suit small samples and ordinal or nominal data.
The Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests are common non-parametric examples.
