Explanation
\(R_{X}\) \(R_{Y}\) \(D = R_{X} - R_{Y}\) \(D^{2}\)
8 6 2 4
5 3 2 4
1 4 -3 9
7 8 -1 1
2 5 -3 9
6 7 -1 1
3 1 2 4
4 2 2 4
Total     36

Spearmann's rank correlation coefficient = \(1 - \frac{6\sum D^{2}}{N(N^{2} - 1)}\)

= \(1 - \frac{6(36)}{8(64 - 1)}\)

= \(1 - \frac{216}{504}\)

= \(1 - 0.4286\)

= \(0.5714\)

\(\approxeq 0.57\).
