The Frequency Distribution of Students’ Pre-test Scores

experimental class, the amount of the students in controlled group consist of 17 students. The most frequency appearance on distribution was the score between 70- 73 with the numbers of absolute frequency 5 or 29.41 in relative frequency. While, the least appearance was interval 66-69, the frequency is 1 or 5.88 in relative frequency. Hence, the total frequency which was formulated into relative frequency was 100.

Then, the numbers of class interval K were 5. The diagram also presented the lowest score that was 72 and the highest one was 91. The total numbers of students were 17. The most frequency appearance on the frequency distributed was the score between 72-75 with the number of absolute frequency 10 or 58.82. However, the two least frequency apperance on the frequency distributed were the score between 80-83 and 88-91 with frequency 1 and 1. b.

The numbers of the class interval K were 6 and the length of the interval I was 4. Then, the lowest score was 65 and the highest one was 88. Its diagram is taken from 17 students‟ scores. The most frequency appearance on distribution was the score between 69- 72 with the numbers of absolute frequency 5 or 29.41 in relative frequency. While, the least appearance were interval 81-84 and 85-88, the frequencies were 1 and 1 with relative frequency 5.88.

5. Normality Test

In gaining normaility test, the writer used SPSS software. The result of normality test was presented in table 4.7 and 4.8. Some steps in gaining normaility test by using SPSS as follows 1 : a Open the data b Select analyze c Select descriptive statistic d Choose the variable will be analyzed and put into variable colomn e Select option f Check list skewness and kurtosis g Select continue h Select Ok a.
