a. Run Spearman rho correlation and present the results in a table (complete with title and
contents)
Variables rs ρ
There is positive and low relationship between academic performance and participation.
c. Use the 5-step procedure to test for the hypothesis at .05 level of confidence
Ho : ρs = 0
HA : ρs ≠ 0
α = .05
Step 3: Run analysis, report rs and ρ value
rs = .288
ρ = .000
Step 4: Decision
Since the ρ value (.000) is smaller than level of significance (.05), therefore reject
Ho.
Step 5: Conclusion
A Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation was run to determine the relationship between
academic qualification and participation scores. According to Guildford’s Rule of
Thumbs, there was a positive and low correlation between academic qualification and
participation scores which statistically significant (rs = .288, ρ = .000) at .05 level of
significance.
