The value of t- obtained (4.385) was higher than the value t-table (1.671), at the significant level 0.05 in one tailed with df=68. Since the value of t-obtained was higher than the value of t-table (4.85 > 1.684), consequently the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted.
