To calculate the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient, we need to compute the difference between each pair of ranks, as this is the basis for determining the degree of association between the two variables. Summing the ranks for each pair, squaring the ranks and adding them together, and subtracting the mean from each score and squaring the sum are not part of the calculation for the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient.
