Here is how the results for a single-sample t-test are reported in APA.
There was no statistically significant difference in calculus anxiety scores between a sample of 30 students at University of Washington who just enrolled but had not yet attended a UW calculus course (M = 121, SD = 14.2) and the UW college students in general, t(29) = 1.03, p = .434.

M = the mean or average of the sample

SD = Standard Deviation of the sample

t(29) = 29 degrees of freedom (df) or sample
size (30 – 1)

The t value or the number of standard error units that separate the sample mean from the
population mean.

The p value or significance value. Meaning that out of 1000 replicated experiments we would be wrong 434
times if we rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore we will not reject the null hypothesis and consider the
sample and the population to be statistically similar.

The p value or significance value. Meaning that out of 1000 replicated experiments we would be wrong 434
times if we rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore we will accept the null hypothesis and consider the sample
and the population to be statistically similar.

For most researchers this is a desirable outcome so that they can use this sample to run experiments
and generalize the results to a larger population.
