* 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.

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.


How do you know whether data requires you to use a parametric or non parametric test?

Parametric tests assume that your data are normally distributed (i.e. follow a classic bell-shaped "Gaussian" curve). Non-parametric tests make no assumption about the shape of the distribution.


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


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.
