Solution
SS for the difference score is the sum of the squares of the difference of the two scores in different subjects:
Sum of Squares of the difference of the scores is
1 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 10
| Subject | 1st | 2nd | difference (D) | Square of difference (D2) |
| #1 | 10 | 11 | -1 | 1 |
| #2 | 4 | 6 | -2 | 4 |
| #3 | 7 | 9 | -2 | 4 |
| #4 | 6 | 5 | 1 | 1 |
