| - | '''Statistical significance''' is a [[statistical]] assessment of whether observations reflect a pattern rather than just [[Randomness|chance]]. The fundamental challenge is that any partial picture of a given hypothesis, poll or question is subject to [[random error]]. In [[statistical test]]ing, a result is deemed '''statistically significant''' if it is so extreme (without external [[independent variable|variable]]s which would influence the [[correlation]] results of the test) that such a result would be expected to arise simply by chance only in rare circumstances. Hence the result provides enough evidence to reject the hypothesis of 'no effect'. | + | '''Statistics''' is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of [[data]]. |
