Price rxy consulted to the critical value tablesAo product moment to N students at 5% significance level. Criteria used if rcount>rtable, then the test is considered Based on the above calculation, have calculated rcount is 0,570. rtable with a significant level of 5% is 0,3061. So it can be concluded that 0,570> 0,3061 then it means there is correlation between the variables Price rxy consulted to the critical value tablesAo product moment to N students at 5% significance level. Criteria used if rcount>rtable, then the test is considered Based on the above calculation, have calculated rcount is 0,831. rtable with a significant level of 5% is 0,3061. So it can be concluded that 0,502> 0,3061 then it means there is correlation between the variables If result . of r11= 1,030 consulted on r product moment with = (N1 N. -2 = 30-2 = 28, significantly 5% then collected rtabel = 0,2144. Then it can be concluded that r11> rtabel = 1,030> 0,3061 it would be declared Jurnal Serunai Bahasa Inggris Vol 13. No. Maret 2021 e-ISSN 2621-010X matter reliable. If result . of r11= 1,029 consulted on r product moment with (N1 N. -2 = 30-2 = 28, significantly 5% then collected rtabel = 0,3061. Then it can be concluded that r11> rtabel = 1,029> 0,3061 it would be declared matter reliable. Based on the above calculation, has been known tcount is 5. To test the hypothesis based on data that has been obtained, then in accordance with the provisions that have been established that the hypothesis accepted if tcount> Has been known the ttable is 672, then 5. 68>1.
