Hi Jennifer,

 

We actually need more information in order to figure this out. We need to know if the t value from your data is greater than the critical t-value. In order to figure that out, we need to know what alpha level you are using (.05, .01, etc.) and whether you are using a one-tailed or two-tailed test.
