Spearman’s coefficient of rank correlation of marks
obtained by 7 students in Business studies and Economics
were found to be .09. Later it was discovered that the
difference in ranks in the two subjects obtained by one of
the student was wrongly taken as 6 instead of 3. Find the
correct value of the correlation coefficient.

A report on leadership ability and a good orator was
submitted to the editor of a newspaper by a journalist. The
journalist gave detailed report about the procedure of the
survey. He finds correlation r = 1/2 and ∑D = 82 .5 .

10 competitors participated in poem recitation
competition. Three judges judge the competition and
ranked them. Which pair of judges has a common
taste?

Since, r2,3 is maximum, we can conclude that there
is a good deal of concurrence in the judgment of 2nd
and 3rd judge.
