here is the data set for the complete question

x: 18 21 19 21 20 21

y; 2 14 5 6 18 18

Answer:

B. 0.652

Step-by-step explanation:

x   y   rank of x     rank of y   d         d²

18   2     1                1               0          0

21   14    4                4             0          0

19    5     2               2             0          0

21    6     4               3            1            1

20    18    3             5.5         -2.5      6.25

21     18    4             5.5          -1.5       2.25

∑d² = 8.5

rs = 1 - 6[∑di² + ∑m(m²-1)]/n(n²-1)

= 1 - 6[8.5 +{3(3²-10/12 + 2(2² - 1)/12}]/6(6²-1)

= 1 - 0.348

= 0.652

therefore option b is the right answer.
