The writer used Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation to calculate the correlation between X variable and Y variable.
The result of the analysis shows that the data of the two variables have normal distribution using Chi Square test. The result of normality of the data distribution (X variable) χ2o = 10.87 is smaller than χ2t = 12.6. The result of normality of the data distribution (Y variable) χ2o = 10.34 is smaller than χ2t = 12.6. It can be concluded that sample come from the population which are normally distributed. In the scattered diagram, the data scores are closed the data line it can be seen that the data are linear.
From the data analysis, it is known the result of r-observed = 0.773 is higher than r-table= 0.325. As ro > rt, it can be said that Ho is rejected and Hi is accepted. It means that there is relationship between students’ mindset and their reading comprehension. To know whether how far the relationship X variable and Y variable are, it is used t-test formula. From the t-test, it is known the result of t-observed = 6.99 is higher than t-table= 1,70. As to > tt it can be said that Ho is rejected and Hi is accepted.
