    • The significance level typically used in Spearman's Rho Test is 0.05.
    • Spearman's Rho test is used to look at the significant relationship between two variables.
    • Spearman's Rho uses ordinal data to calculate the relationship between the variables.
    • Spearman's Rho calculates a correlation coefficient which will be between -1 and +1.
    • The value of Rho (Rs) must be greater than or equal to the critical value to be significant.
    • The correlation coefficient in a Spearman's Rho test tells us the type and strength of the correlation.
    • A Spearman's Rho test uses quantitative scores for two or more variables to calculate the correlation coefficient.
