Perfectly readable! Thank you very much :biggrin:

The only other things that could come up are attached. I haven't done the answers yet so maybe you would want to try this if you're struggling :smile:

strengths:
- allows you to see the correlation between two variables
- allows the strength of the correation to be seen as you can compare you RS value against a set or critical values
- does not assume normal distribution
- allows the signnifficance of the data to be seen

limitations
- you need two variables
- difficult to calculate
- complicated formula

hope that helps :biggrin:

Can you explain 'does not assume normal distribution', please? is this therefore a downside of Standard Deviation?

it does assume that the data is symmetrically skewed. Like, you are able to see how it is correlated, so if your answer is close to 1 it is positive, and if it is close to -1 it is negative.

I feel alright with the skills but I'm having trouble with the fieldwork and remembering everything!

Also, what exactly do you need to know about ICT, as in what kinda questions can they ask?

So, for the 14:00 one, I'd just draw a line from the 13:00 point to the appropriate amount (125 was it? I've gone off it) and then draw the next line to 15:00?

Hi, I am revising for my geog 2 exam tomorrow, but I just freaked out when I found out that you have those questions that ask to describe a chart (this part was fine) then explain the social, economic impacts, or whatever, things like that.
I thought geog2 wasn't testing my knowledge much
How should I revise this? and what kind of questions are these? What do I have to remember?? Can somebody tell me?? :confused:

I would find 14:00, draw 125 or whatever it was on the 14:00 line, and then join the points from 13:00 and 15:00 to 14:00 (Hope that wasn't confusing)

Hey Guys,
Could someone please explain the significance level thing to do with Spear-man's Rank Correlation?
Don't understand it at all :rolleyes:

so lets say I wrote something along the lines of:

"ICT skills are used such as using the computer with a Spearman's rank calculated created on microsoft excel. These applications allowed everything to be more accurate, allowed us to provide higher quality fieldwork and enabled us to present and analyse a wide range of statical information. There was no human error when calculating and we could enter different values to get an answer without having to work everything out from the beginning, making it easy to use.
