  1. Calculate Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for the data.
  2. Show, by sketching a suitable scatter diagram, how two assessors might have assessed 5 projects in such a way that Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for their marks was + 1 while the product moment correlation coefficient for their marks was not + 1 . (Your scatter diagram need not be drawn accurately to scale.)
