Essay

A study was conducted to compare the average time spent in the lab each week versus course grade for computer students.The results are recorded in the table below. $$\begin{array} { c | c } \text { Haurs } & \text { Grade } \\\hline 10 & 96 \\\hline 11 & 51 \\16 & 62 \\9 & 58 \\7 & 89 \\15 & 81 \\16 & 46 \\10 & 51 \\8 & 65 \\8 & 69 \\12 & 94 \\10 & 90\end{array}$$ Using a 5% level of significance,perform a nonparametric test to determine if there is a monotonic association between the number of hours spent in the lab each week and the grade a student receives.Assume that rank ties will have little influence on your result.
