q2 i? Homogeneity tests indicated the two groups had the same ability before treatment; the pre-test mean of the control group was higher than the experimental group's. → Erlidawati & Syarfuni 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Homogeneity-of-mean test on the pre-test data of the two units: F = 3.959 with significance 0.051, so the null hypothesis was accepted and the groups were treated as having the same ability. Levene's test on post-test variances gave sig. 0.607 and Kolmogorov-Smirnov gave 0.056 and 0.157, both above 0.05.

"Form the table above F score obtained 3.959 with significance of 0.051 and the significance ≥ is 0,050.The null hypothesis is accepted. It can be concluded that the data was homogeneous, and it meant two groups had the same ability."
