What test do I use to determine if there is a correlation between a discrete variable and a continuous variable?
For example - I have water quality ratings for streams (excellent, good, fair, poor) and a corresponding nitrogen concentration for each rating. I want to know if the the ratings correlate with the concentration of nitrogen in the stream.
