For Exercises find the critical value from Table L for the rank correlation coefficient, given sample size n and a. Assume that the test is two-tailed.
n = 14, α = 0.01
Find the critical value for the rank correlation coefficient. Assume that the given test is two-tailed.
Given value of the sample size is 14 and the level of significance is 0.01.
So, n = 14, α = 0.01.
Here, n is the sample size and α is the level of significance.
Follow the following steps:
1. Search the value of n = 14 in first column of the table L (critical values for the rank correlation coefficient) in Appendix C.
2. Search the value of level of significance that is 0.01, in the top row (section α = 0.01).
3. See the intersection value of the two values, that is, 0.716.
Hence, the required critical value for the rank correlation coefficient is 0.716.
Hence, the required critical value for the rank correlation coefficient is 0.716.
