The Statistical Hypotheses RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

2 English Reading Comprehension Score : 95 b. The Lowest Scores : 1 Anxiety Scores : 40 2 English Reading Comprehension Score : 50 Furthermore, the mean score of anxiety score is 56.60 with the standard deviation is 7.655. Meanwhile the mean score of English descriptive reading comprehension is 77.13 with 10.615 standard deviation. By using SPSS, the writer got the summary as follows: Table. 4.1 The Summary Score of Anxiety X and Reading Comprehension Y Parameter X Y Minimum Score 40 50 Maximum Score 70 95 Std Deviation 7.655 10.615 Mean 56.60 77.13 Median 58.00 80.00 Mode 59 85 Sum 2264 3085

2. The Relationship between Students’ Anxiety and Their English

Descriptive Reading Comprehension Score To see how significance is the relationship between students’ anxiety and their English descriptive reading comprehension, it is calculated through Pearson Product moment formula. Before calculating the data, here are the result of X and Y scores: N = 40 ∑X = 2264 ∑Y = 3085 ∑XY =174755 ∑X 2 = 130428 ∑Y 2 =242325 After the calculation of whole data from X and Y variables, the next step is to insert the data from the table into the Pearson Product moment formula to find the correlation between X and Y variables as follow: ∑ ∑ ∑ √ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑ √ √ √ √ = 0,045 B. The Analysis of the Data To get the result of the relationship between students’ anxiety score and their English descriptive reading comprehension score, the writer calculated the data through SPSS. 20. The result from the program is below:
