Question

At McDouglas Hamburger stands, each employee must undergo a training program before he or she is hired. A group of nine people went through the training program and were hired to work in the Teton Park McDouglas Hamburger stand. Rankings in performance after the training program and after one month on the job are shown (a rank of 1 is for best performance).

Employee	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
Rank on training program	4	5	8	9	6	2	3	7	1
Rank on job	3	6	7	4	8	1	5	9	2

Using a 0.05 level of significance, test the claim that there is a monotone-increasing relation between rank in the training program and rank in performance on the job.
