Activities:
1. Rank the performance of the following students in their statistics and aircraft structure classes. Then, use
Spearman Rho coefficient to test the difference between their ranks. Use 5% level of significance.

= 0.95

Discussion:
Since 0.95< 1.943 it means that there are no significant differences between the students
2. Shown below is the tabulated results of the height and weights of 10 students of PHILSCA.

Test the claim that the weight of the students is linearly related to their height.

r = 0.8814745268
Ho= theirs is no correlation between the height and weight of students of Philsca.
Ha= theirs is correlation between the height and weight of students of Philsca.

= 5.24

Discussion:
Since 5.23>1.860, Reject Ho and Accept Ha. It means that there is a correlation between Height and
Weight are linearly from each other.

3. Given the following data: Find the value of Pearson r and test the significance of their correlation at
5% level. Interpret the results.

Discussion:
Since 40.6579>2.353, Reject Ho and Accept Ha. It means that there is a correlation between x and y are
linearly from each other.
