Statistical significance

187 views

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”.

Something being statistically significant or not is similar to a true or false statement.

However instead of false meaning it can’t be true, it’s more like you don’t know with enough certainty if it can be true. You don’t know because the data is not ‘good’ enough.
