Explanation

p = \(1 - \frac{6Σ(d_i)^2}{n(n^2-1}\)

p = Spearman's rank correlation coefficient
di = difference between the two ranks of each observation
n = number of observation

X R\(_x\) Y R\(_y\) D\(_I\)(R\(_x\) - R\(_y\))

D\(_i\)\(^2\)

63 2 58 4 -2 4
69 4 61 5 -1 1
72 5 67 6 -1 1
59 1 51 1 0 0
82 6 53 2 4 16
91 7 79 7 0 0
95 8 92 8 0 0
68 3 57 3 0 0

P = \(1 - \frac{6(4+1+1+0+16+0+0+0)}{8(8^2-1)}\)

p = \(1 - \frac{6(22)}{8(63)}\)

p =  \(1 - \frac{132}{504}\)

p = \(1 - \frac{11}{42}\)

p = \(\frac{11}{42}\) or 0.7381
