Hypothesis Testing

This activity took way longer than expected because I forgot to sort my variable before I performed my t test.  I couldn't figure out why my answers didn't match up until a few hours later when it finally hit me.  Fun stuff. 
I already had the data analysis toolkit installed in Excel from the previous activity.  I sorted my variable and then under data analysis I selected the t test option for two-sample equal variables.  I highlighted my other variable and my test was done.  The results that were under 0.05 meant that there was evidence to reject the null hypothesis. 

Here are my tables:

The standards addressed would be #3 Model Digital-Age Work and Learning and #5 Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership.  Teachers demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. Teachers evaluate and reflect on current research to make effective use of digital tools and resources.
