Two psychometricians (educators who are experts in the field of psychological test design) were asked to rank six designs for a new standardized college entrance exam. This problem uses Spearman's rank correlation coefficient to see if there is a (positive) relationship between the educators' rankings.
The null and alternate hypotheses are as follows: (There is no association between the rank pairs)
(The correlation between the rank pairs is positive)
Describe why the test statistic is called the rank correlation coefficient.
