The subjects of this research are the fourth semester students at a higher education institution in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, who are currently taking inferential statistics course. The instruments used in this research are test and interview instruments. The data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The students’ mathematics literacy abilities with divergent learning styles are only able to arrive at the formulating step. The students’ mathematics literacy abilities with convergent learning styles are able to take the mathematical literacy processes. The students' mathematics literacy abilities in the assimilation learning style have come to the interpreting step, but they have not been able yet to solve the problems well. The students' mathematics literacy abilities in the accommodation learning style have been able to understand and check (formulating and interpreting) well but in preparing plans or arguing (employing stage) in solving the problems, it has not been achieved yet properly.
