Writing is an activity that not only need physical act but also mental act. Students can put their statements, idea and opinion in composing writing. Moreover, students learn with visually, auditory and kinesthetic. Students with multi learning style usually better in learning and understand lessons, particularly in writing. Due to the statement, this study is aimed to find out the correlation between students’ learning style and their writing skill. This study use survey quantitative method and analyze the data by using statitisctical hypotheses. Based on the data analysis, it was found that student’s learning style was not normally distributed, whereas the data of writing test was normally distributed. Therefore, the researchers used non-parametric statistics to analyze the hypotheses. Kendall Tau calculation was used and obtained that Zcount ((0,35) <  Ztable (1,96) with significant 0,05. Thus, H0 is accepted and Hi is rejected. It means that there is no correlation between students’ learning style and their writing skill. In this case, learning style were not dominat factors affected writing skill.

Highly significant dependences were found between the distribution of plant communities and the relative insolation on a small rocky ridge with relief and microclimatic conditions varying to a very great degree. The dependences are presented in graphical and numerical forms, and their significance is tested using non-parametric statistics.

Methods of non-parametric statistics, facilitating analysis of processes in the human resource management sphere are reviewed. Such methods allow to explore relationships between qualitative characteristics, between quantitative and qualitative attributes, and to evaluate results generated by expertise. The authors draw examples, showing how to use Spearman’s coefficient, Kendall’s coefficient, coefficient of concordance in studying particular HRM problems, such as employee turnover, job satisfaction level of employees etc. Revealed are the capabilities of correlation and regression analysis and of cluster analysis for evaluating coordinated changes of quantitative factors and for describing dependent variable behaviour with the set of appropriate independent variables. The described analytical toolkit in terms of theory will afford enhancement of research results quality and credibility, and in terms of practice — refinement of source information analysis for further effective decision-making on the HRM issues.
