Parametric Distribution: A parametric distribution is used in statistics when an assumption is made of the way the underlying data is distributed. An example would be when a variable is assumed to be normally distributed. All subsequent analysis will then rely on this assumption. The parameters associated with this assumption like mean and standard deviation also contribute to the analysis.
