[Solved] Identify the error in this code that calculates Spearman correlation: from scipy.stats import spearmanr x = [1, 2, 3] y = [4, 5] result = spearmanr(x, y) print(result.correlation) | SciPy

SciPy - Statistical Tests

Identify the error in this code that calculates Spearman correlation:

from scipy.stats import spearmanr
x = [1, 2, 3]
y = [4, 5]
result = spearmanr(x, y)
print(result.correlation)

AMissing import for numpy

Bspearmanr function is misspelled

CLists x and y have different lengths

Dresult.statistic attribute does not exist

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check input data lengths
Spearman correlation requires both input lists to have the same length. Here, x has 3 elements, y has 2.
Step 2: Understand function requirements
Because lengths differ, spearmanr will raise an error. Other options are incorrect as spelling and attribute usage are correct.
Final Answer:
Lists x and y have different lengths -> Option C
Quick Check:
Input length mismatch causes error [OK]

Quick Trick: Ensure input lists have equal length before correlation [OK]
