- A data processing company has a training program for new salespeople. After completing the training program, each trainee is ranked by his or her instructor. After a year of sales, the same class of trainees is again ranked by a company supervisor according to net value of the contracts they have acquired for the company. The results for a random sample of 11 salespeople trained in the last year follow, where x is rank in training class and y is rank in sales after 1 year. Lower ranks mean higher standing in class and higher net sales. Person 1 2 3 4 5 6 x rank 8 11 2 4 5 3 y rank 7 10 1 3 2 4 Person 7 8 9 10 11 x rank 7 9 10 1 6 y rank 8 11 9 6 5 Using a 1% level of significance, test the claim that the relation between x and y is monotone (either increasing or decreasing). Verify that the Spearman rank correlation coefficient . This implies that the P-value lies between 0.002 and 0.01. State…arrow_forwardSand and clay studies were conducted at a site in California.
