7. Problem:
We analyzed if Spelling Bee placement (rank order) and gender
(male=1 and female=2) are independent of one another.

8. Problem:
We analyzed if Spelling Bee placement (rank order) and gender
(male=1 and female=2) are independent of one another.

9. Problem:
We analyzed if Spelling Bee placement (rank order) and gender
(male=1 and female=2) are independent of one another.
• Here is one general template for reporting a
Spearman's Rho:
Based on the results of the study, Spelling Bee
placement and gender are not statistically significantly
correlated but are independent of one another rs = .03,
p > .05.
