How to Use the Spearmans Rho () Table

First, determine whether you are conducting a one-tailed or a two-tailed test. Next,
identify the level of significance for your test. These two decisions determine the column of the table you will be using. Next, find your n (sample size) in the left-hand
column. This determines the row of the table you will use. The critical value for your
test is found at the intersection of the column and row you have identified. If your
calculated value of equals or exceeds this critical value, your result is statistically
significant at the level you have chosen.
