Nilla Durga Someswara Rao, V. Durga Prasad

Abstract: In this paper we investigated the experiment of significance of spearman's rank correlation coefficient . It provided an in - depth judgment of dissimilar methods of testing for the significance of spearman's correlation coefficient. It was accomplished that each of the methods provided superior enough test for significance of correlation coefficients, which brings to rest the contrasting views that the SPSS does not provide a test for significance of correlation coefficient. The SPSS was recommended ahead of the t - distribution and z transformation due to its easy, robust, and wide applications. Researchers and academics were charged to expose their mentees to this great scientific discovery.

Keywords: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, t - distribution
