  • 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.
