    Spearman's Rank Hypothesis Testing
    Hi

    I wanted to know,
    for Spearman's Rank Hypothesis testing, do you use a sentence or a statement in the exam?

    e.g: H0: There is no association between Boys and Girls
    or H0: p=0

    Because, in the book, in the examples, it uses the sentence, but in the questions, it uses p=0

    So confused...

    Thanks if you can help

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    In the mark schemes they mostly just use rho (p) but I would state both for safety.
