CHAPTER IV THE RESULT OF THE STUDY
A. The Description of the Data
After conducting the data collection, the writer obtains the desired data. They are in the form of scores on English vocabulary mastery test, namely: pre-
test and post test scores. These data come from the experimental group X
1
and control group X
2
. The detailed description of the students’ scores from two groups can be
seen as follows: 1. Pre-test Scores
a. Experimental Group X
1
The data of the test show that the highest score of the pre-test is 7.33, while the lowest one is 3.67. The mean of the scores is 5.15, the median is
4.68, the mode is 4.68, and the standard deviation is 0.85. The range of them is 0 to 10. The following are tables of frequency of distribution and
figures of histogram and polygon of the experimental group. Table 2
