You want to see whether holy water or a wooden stake is more effective at defeating vampires. You gathered two groups of vampire hunters:
13 people used holy water to vanquish vampires; they had a mean of 7 vampires defeated with a standard deviation of 2.61.
The second group had 15 people. They used a wooden stake to vanquish vampires. They had a mean of 6 vampires defeated with a standard deviation of 1.81.
You conducted an independent-samples t test and found t = 1.19 and df = 26.
Using an alpha of α = .01 and a one-tailed test, the t-critical is 2.479.
