The technique used for sampling is simple random sampling. Data processing methods are descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The Inferential analysis consists of a normality test, variant homogeneity test, linearity test, hypothesis test 1, 2 and 3 (t-test), test coefficient of determination, and multiple variable hypotheses (F-test).
