Parametric methods in statistics are essential for making inferences about population characteristics from sample data. These techniques, including T-Tests, ANOVA, and Linear Regression, rely on the assumption that data follows a specific distribution, often normal. They are powerful tools for hypothesis testing and regression analysis, especially when sample sizes are large and distributional assumptions are met. The Central Limit Theorem supports their use, and they are widely applied across various fields for robust, credible research outcomes.
