WORKSHEET 13b Answer Sheet

This worksheet contains ratings data from production managers and workers on various products. 1. There is a moderate positive correlation between the ratings of production managers and workers, but it is not statistically significant. This suggests some consistency between their ratings. 2. Applicant ratings from general managers, production managers, and finance managers were also analyzed. The general manager and production manager ratings showed a very strong positive correlation that was statistically significant, indicating high consistency between them. However, the other pairs - production manager and finance manager, and general manager and finance manager - showed a weaker negative correlation that was not statistically significant.

V 7 3.5 6 3.5
W 2 10 4 7.5

A. Assign ranks for each rating.

B. Find ρ ρ

This is a moderate positive correlation, which means there is a tendency for high X variable scores go
with high Y variable scores (and vice versa).

C. Test ρ at α = 0.05 level.


The P-Value is .06895. The result is not significant at p < 0.05.

D. Is there consistency on ratings given by the production manager and the workers?

Yes. There appears to be a moderate positive correlation on ratings given by the production
manager and the workers.

E. On the basis of your findings, what will you report to the General Manager?

Based on the findings, with a p-value > 0.05, we provide support for the ratings given by the
production manager and the workers.

a. Calculate ”ρ” for each pair of rankings.

Gen Mngr and Prod Mngr; ρ

Prod Mngr and Finance Mngr; ρ


Gen Mngr and Finance Mngr; ρ

b. Test if “ρ” is significant at “α = 0.01”.


Gen Mngr and Prod Mngr; ρ=0.903
The P-Value is .000344. The result is significant at p < .01.

Prod Mngr and Finance Mngr and Gen Mngr and Finance Mngr; ρ=-0.4061
The P-Value is .244232. The result is not significant at p < .01.

c. Which pair of ranking is most/least consistent?

The most consistent pair of ranking would be the General Manager and Production Manager
pair based on its ρ=0.903, while the least consistent pairs are the General Manager and
Finance Manager pair and the Production Manager and Finance Manager Pair which produced
an identical ρ=-0.4061.
