Answer:

Parametric tests are used for interval and ratio data and Non parametric tests are used for ordinal and nominal data.

Explanation:

Parametric tests are used for interval and ratio data and Non parametric tests are used for ordinal and nominal data.

The interval data shows data with differences or intervals.

The ratio data is the one in which statistical inferences is used and can be added ,subtracted , multiplied, or divided.

Ordinal data is one in which we measure quantitative data such as height , weight but is in order.

Nominal data is one in which we measure quantitative data such as hair color eye color without order or which does not require order or sequence.
