    Data Parametric
Click For Summary
Parametric data assumes a normal distribution and is analyzed using statistical methods that rely on this assumption, such as t-tests and ANOVA. Non-parametric data does not assume a specific distribution and is analyzed using methods like the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test. The choice between parametric and non-parametric analysis depends on the data characteristics, including sample size and distribution. Parametric tests are generally more powerful when the assumptions are met, while non-parametric tests are more flexible for non-normal data. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate data analysis in research.

In this version you really want to change your pick, but at the same time ask yourself is the host impartial and does that change anything. The host...
