 My question is basic. If a data set of around 300 is normally distributed is it reasonable to use chi square tests and t-tests for different aspects of analysis. I have suggested that for consistency, only one approach should be followed ie parametric or non-parametric but not both. I would appreciate any comments and advice on this. 

Sorry I forgot to change the subject line
