It means H0 received, both samples is from population distributes normal. Based on the homogeneity test, that is (1,77 1,68), it means that H0 is received. So that both samples is from that has variants homogeneity. Based on the differences between means with the t-test, that is (1,684 3,5), means that H0 is refused.
