Consider the Data Set Shown Below $\begin{array}{c|ccccccc}\mathrm{y} & 0 & 4 & 2 & 3 & 8 & 10 & 11 \\\hline \mathrm{x} & -2 & 0 & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10\end{array}$

question 16

Short Answer

Consider the data set shown below. Find the Spearman's Rank Correlation for the variables x and y. $\begin{array}{c|ccccccc}\mathrm{y} & 0 & 4 & 2 & 3 & 8 & 10 & 11 \\\hline \mathrm{x} & -2 & 0 & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10\end{array}$

A) $r _ { \mathrm { S } } = 0.8929$
B) $r _ { \mathrm { S } } = - 0.8929$
C) $r _ { \mathrm { s } } = 0.7972$
D) $\mathrm { r } _ { \mathrm { s } } = 1.000$

• A) \(r _ { \mathrm { S } } = 0.8929\)
• B) \(r _ { \mathrm { S } } = - 0.8929\)
• C) \(r _ { \mathrm { s } } = 0.7972\)
• D) \(\mathrm { r } _ { \mathrm { s } } = 1.000\)
