Non parametric tests are used when the data is not normally distributed or when the sample size is small. Ranking data is ordinal in nature and does not have equal intervals between values, making it inappropriate for parametric tests. Therefore, a non parametric test such as the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mann-Whitney U test, or Kruskal-Wallis test would be appropriate for analyzing ranking data. F-ration and Chi-square tests are used for analyzing categorical data or continuous data with normally distributed residuals.
