Calculate the correlation between
the IQ of a person with the number week, Yi
of hours spent in the class per week

Find the value of the term di: 86 0
100 27
1. Sort the data by the first column
(Xi). Create a new column xi and 101 50
assign it the ranked values
1,2,3,...n. 99 28
103 29
2. Sort the data by the second column
(Yi). Create a fourth column yi and 97 20
similarly assign it the ranked values
1,2,3,...n. 113 12
112 6
3. Create a fifth column di to hold the
differences between the two rank 110 17
columns (xi and yi).

10(10 - 1)
= 0.18
The low value shows that the correlation between IQ and hours spent
in the class is very low

Mean scores
Respondents received A - M = 3.06, B- M = 2.99, C - M = 2.93, D - M =
2.80), it can be concluded that the respondents who obtained an A
(high achievers) have better attitude in learning English compared to
the low achievers.
