Significance of Results

Statistical significance is determined through the use of hypothesis testing. However, statistical significance is different than practical significance. What is the difference between the two concepts? How would you explain the differences to a superior? What effect does sample size have on practical and statistical significance? Please elaborate.
Consider the following prompts for your response to a fellow learner:
•Describe a situation from your experience in which the researcher had to reconcile differences between statistically and practically significant results. Describe the challenges encountered and strategies employed.
•Provide examples or references that either support or refute the approach taken in the post.
•Assume you are making a presentation to nonresearchers. How would you differentiate practical and statistical significance? How would you explain the rationale for choosing one over the other?
•Describe how the trust between the researcher and manager may affect the way information is presented or even the selection of an approach.
