The t-test result provides evidence against the null hypothesis that the effect in the population is zero (which is equivalent to saying that there is no difference between the two groups being compared). The p-value of .02 suggests that this evidence is statistically significant, meaning that it is unlikely to have occurred by chance. Therefore, we can conclude that there is a statistically significant effect (i.e. difference) between the two groups being compared.
