Which one of the following tests is not a non-parametric test ?

  • A.Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
  • B.Wilcoxon test
  • C.Mann-Whitney
  • D.Student's t-test

Answer: D

The test that is not non-parametric is Student's t-test.

The t-test is a parametric test: it compares means and assumes interval or ratio data drawn from normally distributed populations, with equal variances in the usual two-sample form.

The other three are non-parametric tests, which make no such distributional assumptions and often work on ranks. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test compares distributions, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test compares two related samples, and the Mann-Whitney U test compares two independent samples, the non-parametric counterpart of the independent t-test.
