Correct Answer - Option 1 : -0.3

Calculation

The coefficient of rank correlation = 1 – 6∑d2/n(n2 – 1)

D = r1 – r2

r1, r2 ------ are ranks

Mathematics (r1)

Statistics (r2)

d = Ir1 – r2I

∑d2 = 214

According to spearman’s rank correlation coefficient ρ = 1 – 6∑d2/n(n2 – 1)

⇒ 1 – 6 × 214/10(100 – 1)

⇒ 1 – 6 × 214/990

⇒ 1 – 1.297

The value of rank correlation is approx. – 0.3
