Question

Random collections of nine different solutions of a calcium compound were given to two laboratories, A and B. Each laboratory measured the calcium content (in mmol per liter) and reported the results. The data are paired by calcium compound.

Compound 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Lab A (x) 12.35 9.83 10.79 11.31 8.58 13.69 14.68 15.07 11.57
Lab B (y) 12.18 9.72 10.70 11.51 8.63 13.58 14.71 15.24 11.57
(a) Rank-order the data using 1 for the lowest calcium reading. Make a table of ranks to be used in a Spearman rank correlation test.
Compound Lab A (x) Lab B (y) d = x − y d2

9        
        Σd2 = 

(b) Use a 5% level of significance to test for a monotone relation (either way) between ranks. Interpret the results. What is the level of significance?
 
Compute the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
