One characteristic of nonparametric tests is that they make few,if any,assumptions about the populations being investigated.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonparametric tests are not based on any assumption about the parameter of the population. They are used when the distribution of the data is unknown or if the data is not normally distributed. They do not rely on parameters like mean or standard deviation, but rather on ranks or categorical data. Hence, they make few, if any, assumptions about the populations being investigated.
