| statistical significance |
An estimate of the probability of an association (effect) as large or larger than what is observed in a study occurring by chance, usually expressed as a P-value. For example, a P-value of 0.049 for a risk difference of 10% means that there is less than a one in 20 (0.05) chance of an association that is as large or larger having occurred by chance and it could be said that the results are "statistically significant" at P = 0.05). ...

Is achieved when there is a low probability that the results of an experiment occurred by chance alone. In psychology it is conventional that results are said to be significant if the probability of their occurrence by chance is equal to or less than 5 per cent or 0.05

| statistical significance |
Since a given set of measures might vary because of some chance fluctuations in the conditions at the time and place of measurement, statistical techniques check the probability that the results are not due to chance. If the results pass the check, they are considered statistically significant.
