Student who attended the exam review lectures have an average exam grade of 92%, and students who did not attend the exam review lectures have an average exam grade of 82%. She conducts an independent groups t-test and obtains a t-value of 5, leading to rejection of the null hypothesis based on an alpha level of 0.05.

Write a sentence describing these results. Make sure to format your results sentence appropriately.
