Definitions:

Level Of Significance

The level of significance, often denoted by alpha, is a threshold set for deciding whether to reject the null hypothesis, typically set at values like 0.05 or 0.01.

Rejection Region

The rejection region is the range of values in hypothesis testing that leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis if the test statistic falls within this range.

Robust Estimator

An estimate method that is not overly sensitive to outliers or violations of assumptions by the underlying data-generating process.

Normality

In statistics, a condition in which a distribution approximates the normal distribution, characterized by a bell-shaped curve.
