In various types of statistical analysis, the Weibull distribution is an important continuous probability distribution. One crucial aspect of studying this distribution is estimating its parameters. The maximum likelihood method is the approach used for the two-parameter Weibull distribution. This method aims to determine the parameter values by maximizing the likelihood function based on the available data. The advantages of the maximum likelihood method lie in its properties, such as consistency, efficiency, and asymptotic normality. Since the form of the likelihood function in the Weibull distribution is quite complex and cannot be solved analytically, numerical solutions are required. One approach used is the Newton-Raphson method, which serves to approximate the parameter values or find the optimal solution.

The trend of thinking about education suggests that, educational paradigm based on standards were discussed more and more, acknowledged and appreciated. This trend started from the realization that education need a reference of quality for each of the organizers and the educational unit which is called the National Education Standards (SNP). Indicator of education quality obtained through the filled based on eight ational Education Standards (SNP). Management of facilities and infrastructure were declare based on policy from Permendiknas No.19 in 2007. The data collection technique in this study was carried out by triangulation which was carried out using observations, interviews and documentation from the same source. While the data analysis techniques used are data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The main objective is to create an effective, inclusive, and supportive learning environment that promotes the holistic development of each student. Some of the principles of student management include goals that are aligned with school management, activities that support educational goals, building student unity, good mentoring, and encouraging student independence. The scope of student management includes analysis of student needs, student recruitment, student selection, student orientation, student grouping, student leadership and development, and registration and reporting. This document also discusses the importance of understanding the characteristics of each student, creating a safe and comfortable learning environment, facilitating effective learning, encouraging active participation, building positive relationships, developing social skills, leadership, and supporting students' holistic development. Based on the previous research has found many gaps related with this context. However, there was no studies have evaluated the mechanism of facilities and infrastructure as a whole and systematically according to grant theory. These mechanisms include the supply, distribution, use and maintenance, inventory, and elimination of school facilities and infrastructure.

The aim of this research is to find out: is there an indirect influence of positive thinking abilities on students' mathematics learning achievement through student learning independence. This research is correlational research using quantitative survey methods. The research subjects were 80 students at Al Minhaj High School. This survey research is quantitative research using structured/systematic questions, then all answers obtained by researchers are recorded, processed and analyzed as well as physic scores from student report cards. Data analysis uses path analysis. The independent variable in this research is physic learning achievement, while the dependent variable is the ability to think positively and learning independence. In the description of this research data, the results of the research from the data obtained include the highest score, lowest score, mean, mode, median, range/variance, and standard deviation/standard deviation. In processing the data obtained, the researcher carried out processing with the help of Microsoft Excel 2019 and SPSS 26 applications. Before the data was analyzed, a requirements test was first carried out, namely a normality test using the Liliefors test from Kosmogorov – Smirnov and a regression significance test using analysis of variance (ANAVA). From the results of normality testing for the independent variable positive thinking ability, a significance value of p = 0.922 > 0.05 was obtained; and the independent variable learning independence obtained a significance value of p = 0.652 > 0.05; while for the dependent variable physic learning achievement, the significance value was p = 0.783 > 0.05, so it can be concluded that the three samples have a normal distribution. Testing the linearity of the relationship between the positive thinking ability variable and the physic learning achievement variable obtained a significance value of p = 0.670 > 0.05; The relationship between independent learning and physic learning achievement obtained a significance value of p = 0.789 > 0.05; Meanwhile, the relationship between positive thinking ability and independence in learning physic has a significance value of p = 0.132 > 0.05, so it can be concluded that the regression model is linear, meaning that there is a linear relationship between the three variables. Hypothesis testing was carried out using path analysis, then calculating the significance of the correlation using the Student's t-test. The results of the path coefficient calculation show that t-count = 2.234 > ttable = 1.980 and the p-value (significant column) is 0.327, which means > 0.05, thus it can be concluded that there is a significant direct influence of positive thinking ability on physic learning achievement; tcount = 2.144 > ttable = 1.980 and the p-value (significant column) is 0.314, which means > 0.05, thus it can be concluded that there is a significant direct influence of learning independence on physic learning achievement; tcount = 11.832 > ttable = 1.980 and the p-value (significant column) is 0.796, which means > 0.05, thus it can be concluded that there is a significant direct influence of positive thinking ability on student learning independence.

The purpose of writing this article is to determine increased access and equal distribution of the potential of Islamic educational institutions. This research uses a type of library research. Library research is research carried out by reviewing various journals and related reference books. The results of his research show that one of the pillars of national education is the expansion and equal distribution of access to education. Expanding and equalizing access to education which is aimed at expanding the capacity of educational units by referring to the national priority scale which provides equal opportunities for all students from various groups of society who are diverse both socially, economically, gender, geographically and at the level of intellectual ability, and physical condition. Expanding and equalizing access provides the widest possible opportunities for the Indonesian population to be able to learn throughout their lives in order to increase the nation's competitiveness in the current era. Access to Islamic educational institutions has great significance for the development of individuals and society as a whole. This helps understand Islamic teachings, strengthens religious identity, teaches morals and ethics, understands relevant social and political issues, and helps build character and integrate religious values ​​in daily life. Obstacles to access to Islamic education in this village include Lack of material books and competence of teaching staff. This factor influences the quality of education and students' understanding of Islamic teachings. Therefore, to overcome this problem, greater efforts need to be made to increase access to education, provide adequate book materials, and increase the competency of teaching staff in village areas. Teacher training plays a key role in the distribution of Islamic religious education. Effective teacher training should focus on understanding local culture, relevant curriculum, innovative teaching methods, classroom management skills, community involvement, use of technology, and development of empathy skills.    

This research aims to study methods that can be used to test paired sample data in parametric and nonparametric statistics. Parametric statistics are used if the data sample meets certain assumptions, namely normal distribution and a minimum interval measurement scale. Meanwhile, if these assumptions are not met, you can use nonparametric. This research data was generated randomly to be applied to the paired sample test and the Wilcoxon test. These tests were applied to test the difference in averages before treatment and after treatment. The test results show that for normally distributed data using the paired t test it is proven that there is a difference between the averages before and after treatment. The same thing applies to data with an exponential distribution which is tested using Wilcoxon, that there is a difference in the average before treatment and after treatment.
