Price t table = with a significant value (P) = 0.000 > α = 0.05. Thus the calculated t value > t table which means H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. And it can also be seen that the value of sig (2 tailed) = 0.000 <0.05, which means that the value of sig (2) is less than 0.05, then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Thus, the value of t count > t table means Ho is accepted and H1 is rejected. So, the value of t count > t table, which means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.
