Trying to do a research paper. One of my potential sources says “group a scored slightly, but significantly worse than group b”. I don’t understand how you can score slightly but significantly worse. Googled that phrase and it sounds like the source means “statistically significant”.

In this context the difference being “significant” means they believe it is a real difference, and not just a matter of luck.
Imagine you are building something that has tight fitting pieces. You can have two pieces that look identical, but one fits loosely and the other is difficult to get in. The difference is slight, but significant.
