Given that n = 37, and the value of sample Spearman rank correlation coefficient  = 0.35, the value of the test statistic for testing  .

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The test statistic for testing the significance of the Spearman rank correlation coefficient is calculated as follows:

t = r √((n-2)/(1-r^2))

where r is the sample Spearman rank correlation coefficient and n is the sample size.

Substituting the given values, we get:

t = 0.35 √((37-2)/(1-0.35^2)) = 2.38

This value can be compared with a critical value from the t-distribution with n-2 degrees of freedom to determine if the correlation coefficient is statistically significant. However, the question does not provide the critical value or the significance level, so we cannot determine if the test statistic is significant or not. Therefore, the answer is A) True, as we can calculate the test statistic without additional information.
