How do non-parametric tests treat data points?
- They analyze only the maximum and minimum data values
- They analyze ranks rather than actual data values
- They analyze the median of the data set only
- They ignore outliers in the data set
Non-parametric tests treat data points by analyzing their ranks rather than their actual values. This makes non-parametric tests less sensitive to extreme values and makes them a good choice when dealing with skewed data or data with many outliers.
