Is this answer correct? could use your help.

  1. Use the Recidivism.xls data, conduct an independent sample t-test (alpha= .05) in Excel to determine whether there is a significant difference in AGE between those who recidivated (RECIDIVISM=1) and those who did not recidivate (RECIDIVISM=0). For this t-test, assume that the variances of the two groups are unequal. Copy and paste the Excel output here. In your summary, please discuss the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, the result of this hypothesis test, and interpret the result.

The null hypothesis (Ho) states that there is no significant difference in age between those who recidivated and those who did not recidivate.

The alternative hypothesis (H1) states that there is a significant difference in age between those who recidivated and those who did not recidivate.

Again, based off the data provided assuming un-equal variances it would seem that there is a significant difference between age and therefore would have to accept H1 and reject Ho.
