presidents

21. Ranking the Presidents. A study asked a randomly selected group of liberal historians and a randomly selected group of conservative historians to rank the presidents of the United States since George Washington.12 Interestingly, both groups agreed on the top five presidents, but the rankings were not exactly the same. The rankings for the top five are shown here. Test whether a rank correlation exists between the liberal ranks and the conservative ranks, using level of significance . Note that you need not calculate the ranks, as the ranks are given.
