> t.test(x)

One Sample t-test  

data:  x   
t = 76.2395, df = 9, p-value = 5.814e-14  
alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 0

 11.5372 12.2428

The broom package was released after this post. It makes dealing with model outputs much, much nicer. In particular, the function tidy() will convert the model output to a dataframe for further handling.

x <- c(12.2, 10.8, 12.0, 11.8, 11.9, 12.4, 11.3, 12.2, 12.0, 12.3)
t_test <- t.test(x)

library(broom)
tidy_t_test <- broom::tidy(t_test)

tidy_t_test
#> # A tibble: 1 x 8
#>   estimate statistic  p.value parameter conf.low conf.high method
#>      <dbl>     <dbl>    <dbl>     <dbl>    <dbl>     <dbl> <chr> 
#> 1     11.9      76.2 5.81e-14         9     11.5      12.2 One S…
#> # … with 1 more variable: alternative <chr>

write.csv(tidy_t_test, "out.csv")
