At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a
difference in the mean cellphone service rating between Verizon and
AT&T?

STep 1: Bring data in to excel. we need to find any major difference between means (Verizion and AT & T)
Step 2: comparing means is easiest way by using "t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means" statistics
Step3: go to data tab --> choose data analysis --> choose "t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means".
Step 4: if data analysis option is not available under data tab then go to excel options in the let mose corner and choose excel-addins and click go option. enable data analysis pak and click ok.
Step 5: Gie your input range in the t-Test: Paired Two Sample for Means input box.
the p-value is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis that there's no difference between the means and conclude that a significant difference does exist.
