Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Match the following Parametric and its corresponding Non Parametric test. Parametric-1. Independent T-Test, 2. ANOVA, 3. Paired T Test. Non Parametric-a)Wilcoxon, b) Kruskal Wallis, c) Mann Whitney
A
1-a, 2-b, 3-c
B
1-b, 2-c, 3-a
C
1-c, 2-b, 3-a
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The non-parametric analog of the t-test is the Wilcoxon test. It is called a non-parametric test because it does not assume that the data come from any particular parametric probability distribution, such as the *t-distribution. They could come from wherever, however, and the Wilcoxon test would still be appropriate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Kruskal-Wallis test is one of the non parametric tests that is used as a generalized form of the Mann Whitney U test.
