x
- M
y

N : number of cases.
SE
Mx
: The standard error from mean of differences which is gained with the formula SE
MD
= SD
x
N-1 SE
My
: The standard error from mean of differences which is gained with the formula SE
MD
= SD
y
N-1 SD
x
: Standard deviation of X variable which is gained with the formula SD
x
= X²
N SD
y
