The p-value of F test is 0.000.
Since p-value is less than 0.01 level of significance so we can assume that population variances are equal. So for t test we need to choose row "Equal variances not assumed".
The p-value of t test is 0.000 with test statistics t = 6.569 and df=870.228. Since p-value is less than 0.01 level of significance so we cannot conclude that populations mean number of hours per day watching TV of both group are equal. There is significant difference between the means of two groups.
