They also work when t-tests aren't giving good results.

I’m a bit confused about option A; I thought t-tests could still be used in some cases, but maybe they don't work well with small samples?

I feel like I’ve seen practice questions where they emphasized that non-parametric tests don’t rely on normality, which makes me think C is definitely right.

I remember something about testing the median, so option B might be one of the answers, but I'm not entirely sure.

This is a good opportunity to show my understanding of non-parametric methods. I know they're useful when the data doesn't fit the normal distribution assumptions, and for testing hypotheses about medians. I've got a solid strategy for this.

Wait, I'm not sure about the "no parameters" part. I thought non-parametric tests still had parameters, just different ones than parametric tests. I'll have to think this through step-by-step.

Okay, I've got this. Non-parametric tests are used when the data doesn't meet the assumptions for t-tests, like normality. And they focus on medians rather than means. I'm pretty confident I can nail this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the differences here. I know non-parametric tests don't require normal distributions, but I'm not sure about the other criteria. I'll have to review my notes carefully.

This looks like a tricky question, but I think I can figure it out. I'll need to remember the key differences between parametric and non-parametric tests.

I heard the exam committee was considering adding a 'choose all of the above' option, just to keep us on our toes. Non-parametric testing is like the party animal of statistical methods - it'll show up to the test, but it might not remember the answers.

Ah, the joys of non-parametric testing. It's like trying to hit a moving target with a blindfold on. But hey, at least we don't have to worry about those pesky normal distributions, right?

I thought non-parametric tests were used when we don't know the parameters of the population. Option E looks like the right answer to me.
