Question

Suppose you obtained a Spearman rs of 0.53 from a sample of 13 pairs of scores. For a two-tailed test, such a correlation coefficient is:_____
a. not statistically signficant
b. p <.001
c. p < .01
d. p < .05

Answer 1

Answer:

C: p < 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Spearman rank Correlation Coefficient: rs = 0.53

sample size: n = 13 pairs

Now, from the table attached, tracing n = 13 and locating a corresponding value of rs = 0.53 which falls in between 0.484 and 0.56. Thus, we can see that p is greater than the nominal significance value of 0.05 but less than 0.01.

Thus, correct answer is p < 0.01
