  1. Find the difference D = R1 - R2
    where R1 = Rank of x and R2 = Rank of y
    Note that
    S D = 0 (always)

  2. Calculate D2 and then find S D2

  3. Apply the formula.

¬ Note :

In some cases, there is a tie between two or more items. in such a case each items have ranks 4th and 5th respectively then they are given = 4.5th rank. If three items are of equal rank say 4th then they are given = 5th rank each. If m be the number of items of equal ranks, the factor is added to S D2. If there are more than one of such cases then this factor added as many times as the number of such cases, then

Example Calculate ‘ R ’ from the following data.
