ANALYSIS OF CORRELATION
Contents
The positive and negative signs on the correlation coefficient indicate the direction of the
relationship. If the correlation coefficient is positive, it means that the relationship is
directly proportional, where the higher the value of the variable x, the higher the value of
the variable y and the lower the value of the variable x, the lower the value of the variable
y. If the correlation coefficient is negative, it means that the relationship is inversely
proportional, where the higher the value of the variable x, the lower the value of the
variable y and the lower the value of the variable x, the higher the value of the variable y.

Question
Example:
Manager of PT. Siix wants to find out whether there is a significant and
close relationship between an employee's entry test score and their work
performance.
For this reason, a sample of 11 workers was taken who were then assessed
for their work performance (with a score of 0 to 100).
Calculate the spearman correlation coefficient from the data, how is the
relationship between the entrance test scores and employee performance!
Answer
First Step, ranking the data, namely arranging the data into the order from
smallest to largest. After the sorted data is given a ranking, for data that has the
same value an average rating is given.
Answer
Second Step, finding the difference in rank between one variable and another.
This difference is usually denoted by Di.
Then count the sum of the total
Answer
The third step, calculate the Spearman correlation coefficient with the formula.
