<![CDATA[This study explored the correlation between students' mathematical representation abilities and their learning outcomes in Statistics. Mathematical representation ability is defined as a student's skill in transforming mathematical concepts or ideas into various formats, such as visual (pictures, graphs), symbolic, or verbal descriptions. This representation skill is crucial, considering that Statistics emphasizes understanding and presenting data both visually and numerically. Using a quantitative correlational approach, the researchers involved 27 eighth-grade students from SMPN 21 Mataram, selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data was gathered from a mathematical representation ability test and student learning outcomes. The study's findings indicate a strong, positive relationship between mathematical representation ability and student learning outcomes, with a correlation coefficient of r=0.727. This means an increase in mathematical representation ability correlates with improved student learning outcomes. This finding underscores the vital role of mathematical representation in the mathematics learning process, particularly for topics requiring data interpretation and presentation. Therefore, teachers are advised to systematically integrate representation exercises into mathematics instruction.]]>
