Correlation

This document provides two examples of calculating Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The first example calculates the coefficient for the rankings of 10 students' performances in subjects A and B. It shows the rankings, calculates the differences between rankings, sums the squared differences, and plugs the values into the Spearman's coefficient formula. The second example calculates the coefficient for the marks assigned by two judges to 10 students. It follows the same process as the first example, showing the rankings, differences, summed squared differences, and coefficient calculation. The final section provides expenditure data over 10 years for an average family and asks the reader to calculate Spearman's constant.
