Meanwhile (X₂) obtains mean = 63.67, median = 66.5, mode = 68.78, standard deviation = 15.05, and variance = 226.51. And obtaining a tcount of 2.29 with dk (24-2 = 22) with a significance level of α = 0.05 obtained a ttable of 1.717. Then t_count> t_table or 2.29 > 1.717, which means that H₀ is rejected and H₁ is accepted.
