The accompanying table shows a sample from poll results by The Globe and Mail Report on Business and Angus Reid, which compare CEO evaluations of the 25 top-performing firms over two years. For the 2000 results, each company is given a score that reflects the respondents' choices. For 1999, the companies' scores have been converted to ranks (where 1 is best). Test the claim that there is a correlation between a company's scores in the two years.

Use a 0.05 significance level with the indicated test. If no particular test is specified, use the appropriate nonparametric test from this chapter.
