P12. The coefficient of rank correlation of the
marks obtained by 10 students in two particular
subjects was found to be 0.5. It was later
discovered that the difference in ranks in two
subjects obtained by one of the student was
wrongly taken as 3 instead of 7. What should be
the correct value of coefficients of rank
correlation?
