Definitions:

Critical Value

A threshold in hypothesis testing, which if exceeded by the test statistic, indicates that the null hypothesis can be rejected.

Normally Distributed

A probability distribution that is symmetrical around the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence.

Equal Variances

The assumption that two or more populations have the same variance.

Bonferroni Adjustment

It's a statistical correction method used to adjust confidence intervals or significance thresholds when multiple comparisons are made, reducing the chance of a type I error.
