This statement accurately describes the concept of a critical region. The critical region is determined by the level of significance (alpha) and represents the cutoff point beyond which we would reject the null hypothesis. If our sample statistic falls within the critical region, we consider it unlikely to have occurred by chance alone and therefore conclude that our findings are statistically significant.
