"Statistically significant" means that the result is beyond the element of chance.
the perception of a relationship between two variables that does not actually exist.
A result is statistically significant if:it is unlikely to have occurred by chance
No, it is not.
Correlation analysis. But you will need a lot more knowledge of statistics before you can decide whether the result is [statistically] significant or not, and if it is, what that means.

A person believes cell phones cause cancer despite scientific studies finding no correlation between them.
No, it is not.
Illusory correlation refers to the perception of a relationship between two variables that does not actually exist. This can occur when rare events are paired together in a person's mind, leading to the mistaken belief that there is a causal connection between them. In reality, the correlation is just a product of coincidence or bias.

This means that the correlation is negative but still significant.
A fallacy is a false or mistaken belief or argument, while a stereotype is an oversimplified belief about a group of people based on characteristics like race, gender, or nationality. Fallacies are errors in reasoning, whereas stereotypes are generalizations that may not hold true for every individual in a group.
If you mean what is a descriptive correlational design, it is a design which uses some form of correlation to describe the data, but does not seek to find whether it is a statistically significant relationship. e.g. I run a small pilot study with 10 people and record their age and whether they like tattoos (scaled from 1= no to 7 a lot), I get a negative correlation of 0.4. I use this descriptively to decide there is something to investigate, and then use an infernetial correlation with a better sized / more representative sample to see if there is a significant relationship between the two variables.

Most athletes have some sort of "lucky" game behavior, like their lucky socks. They wore the socks one time when they played really well and so they associate them with doing well. However, they will disregard any of the times that they wore the socks and did not play well. This is an illusory correlation because the socks have nothing to do with actually doing well.
