This document provides guidance on reporting the results of a single sample t-test in APA format. It includes templates for describing the test and population in the introduction and reporting the mean, standard deviation, t-value and significance in the results. An example is given of a hypothetical single sample t-test comparing IQ scores of people who eat broccoli regularly to the general population.
![Here is how the results for a single-sample t-test are
reported in APA.
Students taking statistics courses in psychology at the
University of Washington reported studying similar
hours for tests (M = 121, SD = 14.2) compared to UW
college students in general, t(33) = 2.10, p = .034.
Here is a template:

[ ], SD = [ ]) than [Insert population], t( ) = [ ], p = [ ].](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/reportingasinglesamplet-testrevised-140916141525-phpapp02/85/Reporting-a-single-sample-t-test-13-320.jpg)
