hi there, have just completed an exam, but got a little question, i was given two sets of data displayed in a table, the first were rankings for the acessibility to a tourist site and the other were figures for how many visitors visited the site, now i obviously ranked the second column accordingly, but was i suppose to re-rank the first column, given the fact we have been taught to rank both columns to carry out the test effectively????

Do you mean to calculate Spearman's Rho by hand? Yes, both columns of data should ranked.
