Question: 16. A psychologist would like to evaluate the relationship between verbal skills as measured by the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) and performance on an anagram

16. A psychologist would like to evaluate the relationship between verbal skills as measured by the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) and performance on an anagram task. Anagrams are words with the letters scrambled. Each subject is given a set of 10 anagrams, and the psychologist records how much time is needed to solve all 10 anagrams and correctly unscramble the letters to make all words. The anagram times and each subject's SAT score are as follows. Note that two subjects failed to complete all 10 anagrams. Use a Spearman correlation to measure and describe the relationship between SAT and anagram performance. Anagram SAT Subject Time Score 104 480 195 410 WN 50 590 4 93 510 failed 420 170 460 failed 380 8 67 570 45 640 10 58 600
