7. Problem:
We analyzed if there is a relationship between Spelling Bee
placement (rank order) and gender (male=1 and female=2)
8. Problem:
We analyzed whether there was bias (non-random pattern) in
on-time graduation (no=1 and yes =2) according to gender
(male=1 and female=2)
• Here is one general template for reporting a
Spearman's Rho:
9. Problem:
We analyzed whether there was bias (non-random pattern) in
on-time graduation (no=1 and yes =2) according to gender
(male=1 and female=2)
• Here is one general template for reporting a
Spearman's Rho:
Based on the results of the study, females tend to rank
higher in Spelling Bee competitions than do males
rs = .82, p < .05.
