Answer

$Nonparametric\:statistics\:are\:used\:when\:the\:population\:$ $is\:not\:normally\:distributed.\:These\:tests\:do\:not\:depend\:$ $on\:the\:population's\:specific\:frequency\:distribution\:or\:$ $parameters,\:making\:them\:distribution-free\:tests.$

Work Step by Step

$If\:the\:population\:in\:a\:particular\:hypothesis-testing$ $\:situation\:is\:not\:normally\:distributed\:then\:we\:use\:$ $nonparametric\:procedures. The\:non\:parametric\:test\:$ $is\:a\:test\:that\:does\:not\:depend\:on\:the\:particular\:form\:$ $of\:the\:frequency\:function\:from\:which\:the\:samples\:are\:$ $drawn.\:In\:other\:words,\:non\:parametric\:test\:does\:not\:$ $make\:any\:assumption\:regarding\:the\:form\:of\:the\:population.\:$ $The\:non-parametric\:test\:doesn't\:depend\:on\:the\:parameters\:$ $of\:the\:population. The\:statistical\:tests\:are\:also\:called\:$ $distribution-free\:tests.$
