9. The last procedure is determining dfdegree of freedom with formula:
H. Stastistical Hypotheses
The statistical hypothesis of this study can be seen as: Null Hypothesis Ho
: There is no significance difference after crossword puzzle strategy is used on students‟
vocabulary understanding in the 7th grade students of MTs. Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat.
Alternative HypothesisHa : There is a significance difference after
crossword puzzle strategy is used on students‟ understanding in the 7th grade of MTs.
Muhammadiyah 1 Ciputat.
And then, the criteria used as follows: 1. If t-test to t-table tt in significant degree of 0,05, Ho null hypothesis is
rejected. It means that the ratesof mean score of the experimental group are higher than the controlled group. The using of crossword puzzle is effective
towards students‟ vocabulary understanding. 2. If t-test to t-table tt in significant degree of 0,05, Ho the null hypothesis
is accepted. It means that the rates of the means score of the experimental group are same as or lower than the controlled group. The using of crossword
puzzle is not effective towards students‟ vocabulary undersatnding
