Is F-Test parametric or non-parametric?
Parametric.
Is parametric test stronger than nonparametric test?
If the distribution is parametric then yes.
Is t-test a parametric test or not?
yes
What are examples of parametric and nonparametric statistical tests?
Parametric statistical tests assume that your data are normally distributed (follow a classic bell-shaped curve). An example of a parametric statistical test is the Student's t-test.Non-parametric tests make no such assumption. An example of a non-parametric statistical test is the Sign Test.
Distingnish between parametric and nonparametric statistics. Why the parametric statistics are considered more powerful than the nonparametric statistics. Explain.?
Parametric statistical tests assume that the data belong to some type of probability distribution. The normal distribution is probably the most common. That is, when graphed, the data follow a "bell shaped curve".On the other hand, non-parametric statistical tests are often called distribution free tests since don't make any assumptions about the distribution of data. They are often used in place of parametric tests when one feels that the assumptions of the have been violated such as skewed data.For each parametric statistical test, there is one or more nonparametric tests. A one sample t-test allows us to test whether a sample mean (from a normally distributed interval variable) significantly differs from a hypothesized value. The nonparametric analog uses the One sample sign test In one sample sign test,we can compare the sample values to the a hypothesized median (not a mean). In other words we are testing a population median against a hypothesized value k. We set up the hypothesis so that + and - signs are the values of random variables having equal size. A data value is given a plus if it is greater than the hypothesized mean, a negative if it is less, and a zero if it is equal.he sign test for a population median can be left tailed, right tailed, or two tailed. The null and alternative hypothesis for each type of test will be one of the following:Left tailed test: H0: median ≥ k and H1: median < kRight tailed test: H0: median ≤ k and H1: median > kTwo tailed test: H0: median ≠ k and H1: median = kTo use the sign test, first compare each entry in the sample to the hypothesized median k.If the entry is below the median, assign it a - sign.If the entry is above the median, assign it a + sign.If the entry is equal to the median, assign it a 0.Then compare the number of + and - signs. The 0′s are ignored.If there is a large difference in the number of + and - signs, then it is likely that the median is different from the hypothesized value and the null hypothesis should be rejected.When using the sign test, the sample size n is the total number of + and - signs.If the sample size > 25, we use the standard normal distribution to find the critical values and we find the test statistic by plugging n and x into a formula that can be found on the link.When n ≤ 25, we find the test statistic x, by using the smaller number of + or - .So if we had 10 +'s and 5 -'s, the test statistic x would be 5. The zeros are ignored.I will provided a link to some nonparametric test that goes into more detail. The information about the Sign Test was just given as an example of one of the simplest nonparametric test so one can see how these tests work The Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, The Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis Test are a few more common nonparametric tests. Most statistics books will give you a list of the pros and cons of parametric vs noparametric tests.

The data you are comparing is both parametric for one set and non-parametric for another Is there anything that can test this?
Parametric for one set?! Yeah

How do you calculate the error of a median for a non-parametric distribution?
You would need to take repeated samples, find their median and then calculate the standard error of these values.
What would you use a parametric test for?
* Always when the assumptions for the specific test (as there are many parametric tests) are fulfilled. * When you want to say something about a statistical parameter.
The Binomial Test is a parametric statistical test?
Binomial is a non- parametric test. Since this binomial test of significance does not involve any parameter and therefore is non parametric in nature, the assumption that is made about the distribution in the parametric test is therefore not assumed in the binomial test of significance. In the binomial test of significance, it is assumed that the sample that has been drawn from some population is done by the process of random sampling. The sample on which the binomial test of significance is conducted by the researcher is therefore a random sample.
What nonparametric test does not have comparable parametric test?
A classic would be the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.
Example of parametric test?
The Fisher F-test for Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
What is a parametric test used to compare the means of two groups?
t-test
