Non parametric method: Less power but more robust. Does not assume normal
distribution.
Also varies between -1 and 1

The usual way of writing Spearman Rank Coefficient is:
Where:
d: differences between the ranks of the two variables
n: number of samples

X 4 4 7 25 7 17 16 9 21 7
Y 16 8 8 20 16 15 12 20 25 8
Solution: Step 1. Ho: X=Y

Step 5. Computation of r.
X Y Rank X Rank Y D D²
4 16 9.5 4.5 5 25
4 8 9.5 9 -0.5 0.25
7 8 7 9 -2 4
25 20 1 2.5 -1.5 2.25
7 16 7 4.5 2.5 6.25
17 15 3 6 -3 9
16 12 4 7 -3 9
9 20 5 2.5 2.5 6.25
21 25 2 1 1 1
7 8 7 9 -2 4

Step 6. Decision: Accept Ho since r = 0.594 is less than 0.602. Interpretation: The values of X and Y are not
related.
