Suppose you perform a two-tailed independent-samples t-test,using $\alpha$ = 0.05,with 15 participants in one group and 16 participants in the other group.Your  is 4.56,which is significant.Which of the following is the correct way to report this finding?
A)t(31)= 4.56;p < 0.05 
B)t(29)= 4.56;p < 0.05 
C)t(29)= 4.56;p > 0.05 
D)t(29)= 4.56;p = 0.05

The correct way to report this finding is to mention the degrees of freedom, which is calculated by subtracting 1 from the sum of the sample sizes (31 in this case). Therefore, the correct degrees of freedom would be 29 (15+16-2). The p-value is less than 0.05, so the null hypothesis can be rejected.
