Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistical significance only indicates that the results are unlikely to have occurred by chance, and does not necessarily relate to the practical or psychological significance of the findings. A and C are incorrect because statistical significance does not suggest that a result is highly probable by chance alone or that it is likely to occur with a small sample. D is incorrect because identical mean, median, and mode do not guarantee statistical significance.
