Statistical significance is a measure of the likelihood that a result is not due to chance, usually expressed as a p-value or confidence level.

Why is statistical significance important?

Statistical significance helps determine if a result is likely due to a real effect or chance, guiding decision-making and reducing false conclusions.

An easy way to understand statistical significance is:

Imagine you're testing two different ad designs. If the results show that one ad performs much better than the other, and it's not just due to random chance, that's statistical significance.

How Statistical Significance Works?

Statistical significance is determined by calculating the probability (p-value) of obtaining the observed results if the null hypothesis (no effect or difference) is true. A low p-value (typically < 0.05) indicates that the results are unlikely to have occurred by chance alone, suggesting statistical significance.

Statistical significance is influenced by factors such as sample size, effect size, and variability. Larger sample sizes, greater effect sizes, and lower variability increase the likelihood of detecting statistically significant results. Significance levels (e.g., 0.05) are predetermined thresholds used to assess whether the p-value is low enough to reject the null hypothesis.

At Kosme Aesthetics, the notion of 'statistical significance' shapes how we measure the impact of new treatments.
