Thanks. The thing is, I don't understand what a P-value is.

The question I'm trying to solve is this: At a 5% level of significance, can you conclude that the true mean score is more than 35?

Mean: 37.6667
Std. Error: 1.81046
Median: 38
St. Deviation: 8.29659
Range: 33
Variance: 68

You can NEVER prove a hypothesis. All you can do is reject or not reject hypothesis.

The question is not detailed enough to answer, I am afraid. Travis may have addressed the concern above. But again, do NOT ever say that "thus the hypothesis is proven". That never happens.
