Nonparametric methods that can be used to make inferences about a population without requiring an assumption about the distribution of the population are called _____.
A) continuity-correction methods
B) non-probabilistic methods
C) distribution-free methods
D) non-quantitative methods

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonparametric methods are distribution-free methods that do not require any assumption about the population distribution. Continuity-correction methods are a technique used to adjust for continuity when approximating discrete probabilities with continuous distributions, but they still rely on a specific distribution. Non-probabilistic methods refer to methods that do not involve probability calculations, but they do not necessarily imply a lack of assumptions about the population distribution. Non-quantitative methods are methods that do not involve numerical measurements, but this does not necessarily imply a lack of assumptions about the population distribution.
