The Kolmogorov-Smirnov residual normality test yielded a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.069 with a significance of 0.200, indicating that the data is normally distributed. The correlation coefficient (r) of 0.763 is larger than rtable of 0.175, and the significance of the research hypothesis test is <.001, which is less than 0.05, therefore H0 is rejected.
