To know whether the differences of the two mean was significant or not, t test formula was applied. The result of computation in control group was 0.66 and for the experiment group was 0.81. So, here, it indicates of variable X and variable Y in control group had average correlation. While it indicates of variable X and variable Y in experiment group had strong correlation. The critical value of t for the tailed level of significant in which 5% and degree of freedom (df) 20 was 0.44.
