0
is accepted for
linearity.
Because sign 0.446 > 0.05. Thus, the relationship between dependent
and independent variables
was linier. Due to the result of data distribution of
variables
were normal and linearity analysis was linier. So, to analysize the
correlation in this study. The Pearson correlation showed that the correlation
between reading habit and writing ability was at 0.302.
It meant that H
is
rejected. Because,
the coefficient correlation 0.302 < 0.304.
