increase in the one is accompanied by an increase or decrease in the other,
then the two variables are said to be correlated. The number showing the
degree of extent to which the two variables are related to each other is called
the correlation coefficient. It is denoted by the symbol r or greek letter ρ. The
value of correlation coefficient has a range of -1.0 to +1. Spearman’s Rank
