Which of the following correctly represents a t-test result formatted in APA style?

When reporting a t-test result in APA style, the degrees of freedom should be rounded to two decimal places, just like the t value and p-value.

A psychologist studying the relationship between caffeine and memory obtains a $t$-score of 2.737, 18 degrees of freedom, and a $p$-value of .012. Arrange the following segments in the correct order to construct the properly formatted APA-style reporting string for these results, applying the necessary formatting and rounding rules.

A researcher writes the following result in a manuscript: t(18.0) = 2.4, p = 0.015. Match each element of this incorrectly formatted string to the specific APA style rule it violates.

A researcher is finalizing the 'Results' section of a research report and needs to construct a properly formatted APA-style reporting string for a $t$-test. The analysis yielded 26 degrees of freedom, a calculated $t$-value of -2.576, and a significance level of 0.041. Which of the following represents the correctly synthesized reporting string for these findings?

A student is writing a research report and needs to report the result of a $t$-test where the calculated $t$ value is 2.776, the degrees of freedom is 12, and the $p$-value is 0.018. Following APA style guidelines, which of the following is the correct format?

Match each element of a properly formatted t-test result (e.g., t(9) = -3.07, p = .01) with its correct APA formatting rule.

A researcher conducts a study with 22 degrees of freedom and calculates a $t$ value of -3.125 and a $p$-value of 0.008. According to the specified APA style guidelines, the researcher should report the result as: t(22) = -3.13, p = .01.

A researcher is reviewing draft results for a psychology study. Based on the APA style rules for reporting $t$-test results, arrange the following strings in order from the most compliant with the specified formatting rules to the least compliant (i.e., containing the most violations of the rules regarding decimals and rounding).

A psychologist is evaluating the results section of a manuscript and finds the following reported $t$-test: $t(22) = 1.958, p = .05$. To adhere to the APA style rule requiring the $t$ score to be rounded to exactly two decimal places, the psychologist determines that the value '1.958' must be corrected to _____.

A researcher reviews a draft results section containing the following report: t(15.0) = -2.768, p = .012. Applying APA style rules—degrees of freedom must be integers with no decimal remainder and t-values must be rounded to two decimal places—the corrected t portion of this report (everything before the comma) is _____.
