Consider the grades for the math and history exams for 10 students on a scale from 0 to 12 in the following table. ​  Student  Math  History  1 4 8  2 5 9  3 7 9  4 12 10  5 10 8  6 8 5  7 9 6  8 9 6  9 11 9  10 7 10 ​ Compute the Spearman correlation coefficient. Round your answer to three decimal places.
To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow:  Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 169 157 115 99 119 113 School B 123 157 112 99 121 122 ​ Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 120 121 124 145 138 117 School B 153 90 124 140 142 102 ​ Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 1% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school…
A horse trainer teaches horses to jump by using two methods of instruction. Horses being taught by method A have a lead horse that accompanies each jump. Horses being taught by method B have no lead horse. The table shows the number of training sessions required before each horse performed the jumps properly.  Method A 25 23 39 29 37 20 Method B 41 21 46 42 24 44 ​ Method A 45 35 27 31 34 49 Method B 26 43 47 32 40   ​ Use a rank-sum test with a5% level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference between the training sessions distributions. If the value of the sample test statistic R, the rank-sum, is 150, calculate the P-value. Round your answer to four decimal places.
