univariat and bivariate. Univariate analysis will present data in form the frequency distribution table so it
looks descriptive description of the variables studied. Analysis bivariate done with Chi Squre significance test
to see the relationship between two variables ie independent and bound variable, if not qualified used
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. If available significant difference (p <0.05) and none meaningful difference (p>
0.05).
RESULT AND
DISCUSSION
