Answer to Question 1

A nonparametric test should be used instead of its parametric counterpart whenever: (a) data are of the nominal or ordinal scales of measurement, or (b) data are of the interval or ratio scales of measurement but one or more other assumptions, such as the normality of the underlying population distribution, have not been met.

Answer to Question 2

a) Compared to parametric test, information in the data is used less efficiently, and the power of the test will be lower. For this reason, a parametric test is preferable whenever its assumptions have been met. b) Nonparametric testing places greater reliance on statistical tables, if a computer statistical package or spreadsheet is not being used.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
