I have two categorical variable and I would like to check if this two variables have correlation.

Is the right option to use spearman rho coefficient correlation?

The levels for one are 4 and for the other variable are 5.

I used Spearman's correlation coefficient rho with p-value < 0.05 to accept the null hypothesis which shows the correlation. Is it the right option?

Example of data

Are they nominal or ordinal? How many levels does each have? – Peter Flom Jun 07 '20 at 11:56
@PeterFlom They are ordinal. Nominal are only (0 or 1 levels). The levels for one are 4 and for the other variable are 5. – foc Jun 07 '20 at 13:15

@PeterFlom is the right option to use chi-squared test? – foc Jun 07 '20 at 13:48
What do you mean by "nominal is only 0 or 1 level"? – Michael M Jun 07 '20 at 14:02
@MichaelM please take a look at the example data structure – foc Jun 07 '20 at 14:04
