Definitions:

Significance Level

The significance level, often denoted by alpha (α), is the threshold chosen by the researcher to determine the statistical significance of an outcome; it's the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.

Highly Significant

A term used in statistical analysis to denote results that vastly exceed the threshold for statistical significance, often suggesting a strong effect or association.

p < .001

p < .001 indicates that the probability of the observed data, or something more extreme, assuming the null hypothesis is true, is less than 0.1%, which is considered highly statistically significant.

Within-group Variability

The measure of how much individual observations in a single group differ from each other in a dataset.
