2. Data Analysis
Before calculating the relationship between students’ reading habit and their
comprehension using Pearson Product Formula, the writer tries to conduct the testing
requirement analysis; namely normality and linearity test. a. Testing Requirement
1 The Normality Test
Normality test is done to determine a normal distribution of data. This coincides with statistical accuracy of the selection test will be used. The
variables are normal if it:
1. A normal distribution of data normal if the value of sig significance 0.05.
2. An abnormal distribution of data normal if the value of sig significance 0.05.
The data in this research is analyzed by SPSS version 21. The result of normality test can be seen in the following table:
Table 4.2 Result of Normality Test Variable
Sig Criteria
X 0,394
Normal Y
0,298 Normal
Based on the result above, it shows that the value of variable X 0.394 and variable Y 0.298 is higher than 0.05, so it can be concluded that these data
area normal. The result of the normality test can be seen in the appendix.
2 The Linearity Test
After computing normality test then the writer continued to analyze the linearity test. Thus, linearity test is used to know the relation between
dependent and independent variable. The variables have linearity based on these testing criteria:
A. If the value of sig significance 0.05. It means that the variable is linier. B. If the value of sig significance 0.05. It means that the variable is not
linier.
Table 4.3 Result of Linearity Test Variable
Sig Criteria
XY 0,212
Linear The result of linearity reading habit and reading comprehension test
above shows that result of significance value is 0,212. It means that the value is higher than significance 0.05. So it can be concluded that the variable X
and variable Y is linear. The result of reliability test can be seen in the appendix.
b. Statistical Testing
Based on the result of the first prerequisite test, it showed that the data from population above was well-modeled by normal distribution; the second
testing requirement is linearity test. It was found that the data is linear. And the last test was product moment calculation; this test is aimed to know the
relationship between students ’ reading habit variable X and their
comprehension Variable Y. Product moment correlation on Statistical Package for Social Science SPSS version 21 is used to find the relationship
between the two variables. After processing the data it showed a result R
xy
is 0.779
.
It can be concluded that the relationship between students’ reading
