The reason the writer used this cluster random sampling technique was that the more representative the samples were, the greater the significance of the correlation would be.
Due to its small size, the accurate information compared to the sample could be used by highly trained personnel, so that the error factor in data collection and processing could be minimized. In this study, the writer took XI IPA 1 SMA Islam Az-Zahrah Palembang as a sample.
