What is a statistically significant?

if it is unlikely to have happened by chance


What is F ratio?

Computing F-ratioThe F-ratio is used to determine whether the variances in two independent samples are equal. If the F-ratio is not statistically significant, you may assume there is homogeneity of variance and employ the standard t-test for the difference of means. If the F-ratio is statistically significant, use an alternative t-test computation such as the Cochran and Cox method.


Is it possible for the results of the study to be of practical importance even though they are not statistically significant?

Yes!


Which of these is closest to what you mean to statistically significant?

Statistically significant is the term used to define when two data are distinct enough in value as to be considered different values. To determine whether two data are close enough in value or distinct enough in value to be considered the same or different, usually you have to do a p-test or a t-test, depending on the type of data that you are looking at. Then confer with the corresponding chart for the test that you did to see whether or not the data is statistically significant.


What does it mean for the findings of a statistical analysis of data to be statistically significant?

Data is statistically significant if the p (probability) value is below a certain level (ex: 5% or 1%). The p value describes how often one would receive the results they got if left to chance alone. The lower the p value, the less likely it is that your results were due to chance and is stronger evidence against the null hypothesis. Also important to keep in mind is that just because something is statistically significant does not mean it is practically significant.

Why are unpaired electrons more significant than paired electrons in terms of magnetic properties?

I wouldn't say they are 'more significant' but if they are paired their magnetic moments cancel each other out and if they are not paired there is a net magnetic moment.


Is .016 statistically significant in spss?

A number, by itself, cannot be statistically significant. It is necessary to know what the underlying statistical distribution for that number is. That information can be obtained from knowledge of the statistical test being carried out.


How can a result be described as statistically significant but not practically significant?

You buy a thousand lottery tickets (different numbers) and win nothing. That is statistically significant because the chances of that happening purely by chance are pretty slim. But if the lottery is operated properly, the result is not practically significant. There is nothing that can be done. Tough!
