Inferential procedures that are free from restrictive assumptions about the sampled populations are known as:
A) distribution-free tests (because no assumption about the nature of the population distribution is being made)
B) distribution-free tests (because no assumption about the nature of the sampling distributions of test statistics is being made)
C) parametric tests
D) all of these
E) none of these
