Answer:

When the findings are statistically significant, it means that the likelihood of getting these results by chance are very small.

Statistically significance is used in the hypothesis testing and if the results are statistically significant, it means that there is significant relationship or difference between two or more variables. We usually use p-value approach to see if the results are statistically significant or not. The results are significant if the p-value is less than the given significance level.
