Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given information is consistent with a positive and strong correlation between the rankings of the two judges. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient (represented by the symbol rho) ranges from -1 to +1, with values closer to +1 indicating stronger positive correlation. A value of 0.70 suggests significant agreement between the judges' rankings. The sum of squares is not directly relevant to the calculation of rho and does not affect its value.
