Problem

At a dog show, 5 Great Dane dogs were ranked by two judges, judge X and judge Y.

Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between the judges’ ranks is calculated and a test for positive correlation is carried out at the 5% significance level.

(a) State suitable hypotheses for the test.

Given that the result of the hypothesis test was to reject H0,

(b) show that the largest possible value of ∑d^2 is 2.

The table below gives the rank order for judge X.
