Homogeneity test
Homogeneity of the test is designed to test the version of the normal distribution of the population, the homogeneity of the test carried out
by the Levenu‟s test. Research data that has been collected from a homogenous population if adequate significance is α=0.05. If

interest B as independent variables then reading comprehension Y as dependent variable. Data was obtained by giving test to know students‟
reading comprehension and distributing questionnaire to gain data of students‟ reading interest. Descriptive analysis of the data performed to
determine the range of the data, the average, median, mode, and standard deviation. This data was taken from the post test result of students in each
group. A statistical description of calculation and test performed through SPSS 20.00 as well as analysis and interpretation shown in the following
table.
