@GSTAT,
From the wikipedia page on statistical significance
:In statistical hypothesis testing, a result has statistical significance when it is very unlikely to have occurred given the null hypothesis.
Let the variable
probablySo be the chance of a study correctly rejecting a null hypothesis, and the variable
justChance be the probability of getting a result at least as extreme just through random happenstance.
Statistically significant is where
justChance < probablySo
