See explanation below.

Explanation:

When carrying out a statistical experiment, and the result is statistically significant, it means that there exists a very low probability that the results obtained could have occurred by chance.

In other words, statistical significance refers to the likelihood that the relationship that exists between two or more variables is due to the result of something other than chance.

Statistical significance can be used in providing evidence which concerns the plausibility of the null hypothesis, and this hypothesizes that, there is nothing more than random chance at work in the data.
