Parametric and Nonparametric Tests

A potential source of confusion in working out what statistics to use in analyzing data is whether your data allows for parametric or non-parametric statistics. It is safe to say that most people who use statistics are more familiar with parametric analyses than their nonparametric counterpart. In this video, I will be introducing to you the definitions of parametric and nonparametric tests; their advantages and disadvantages; and when to use these in testing hypothesis for your quantitative research.

Parametric and non parametric which approach is more effective and efficient in future and why please reply me

Hey... Bro. After doing Likert scale is it necessary for me to do Non Parametric test?
And second question. With Likert scale can I arrive at conclusion?
My topic is about Satisfaction of Consumers... For my simple Project. ( I don't know how to use Different types of testing use in statistics 😅)
