Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statistical significance means that there is a low probability of the results occurring due to chance, therefore option B is correct. Option A is not necessarily true, as statistical significance can depend on the sample size and effect size. Option C is incorrect, as statistical significance would actually lead to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Option D is incorrect, as statistical significance is a factor that must be considered when avoiding Type I errors.
