| Instrument (Y) | 58 | 61 | 67 | 51 | 53 | 79 | 92 | 57 |
Calculate the spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the scores.
p = 1−6Σ(di)2n(n2−1
p = Spearman's rank correlation coefficient
di = difference between the two ranks of each observation
n = number of observation
| X | Rx | Y | Ry | DI(Rx - Ry) | Di2 |
| 63 | 2 | 58 | 4 | -2 | 4 |
| 69 | 4 | 61 | 5 | -1 | 1 |
| 72 | 5 | 67 | 6 | -1 | 1 |
| 59 | 1 | 51 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 82 | 6 | 53 | 2 | 4 | 16 |
| 91 | 7 | 79 | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| 95 | 8 | 92 | 8 | 0 | 0 |
| 68 | 3 | 57 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
P = 1−6(4+1+1+0+16+0+0+0)8(82−1)
p = 1−6(22)8(63)
p = 1−132504
p = 1−1142
p = 1142 or 0.7381
