Based on the results of this study, it was found that in the normality test the data were normally distributed with a significant value of Kolmogrov-Smirnov in each class, namely > 0.05. In the homogeneity test, it was found that the value based on the mean was 0.789 > 0.05, which means the data is homogeneous.
