“显著性测定”常见的英文表达是 "significance test" 或 "test of significance"。
在统计学领域,这两个短语都用于描述判断样本数据所反映的总体现象之间是否存在显著差异的统计方法。例如:
We conducted a significance test to determine if there was a real difference between the two groups.(我们进行了显著性测定,以确定两组之间是否存在真实差异。)
A test of significance helps us decide whether an observed effect is likely due to chance or a real factor.(显著性测定有助于我们判断观察到的效应是更可能由随机因素引起,还是真实因素导致 。)
