What should she report?
A) Females and males did not significantly differ in the time spent using email, t(14) = -1.90, p = .10.
B) Females and males did not significantly differ in the time spent using email, t(7.18) = -1.90, p = .10.
C) Females spent significantly longer using email than males, t(14) = -1.90, p < .05.
D) Females and males did not significantly differ in the time spent using email, t(7.18) = -1.90, p < .05, one-tailed.
