249873. It was calculated by using Pearson product moment and the result the data of
analysis the data shows that the correlation coefficient between variable X and
variable Y was 0.987 while the significance standard 5% was rtable = 0,304, so rxy <
rtable (0,987 > 0,304). the significance standard 1% was rtable = 0,393, so rxy > rtable
(0,987 < 0,393). The criteria of correlation between two variables was 0,420 there

Jumlah ini didapat menggunakan product moment pearson dan data analisis nya
menunjukkan bahwa korelasi koefisien antara variabel x dan variabel y adalah 0.987
dimana standar signifian 5% adalah rtable= 0.393, maka rxy > rtable (0,987 < 0,393).
Kriteria korelasi antara kedua variabel adalah 0.420 merupakan nilai rata- rata
korelasi. Maka, nilai KP (menentukan nilai koefisien) atau kontribusi pada variabel X

past tense memberikan kontribusi sebanyak 97.4169% kepada kemapuan menulis
