In this assignment, you will explore the concept of statistical significance and its importance in drawing meaningful conclusions from sample data. Statistical significance is a fundamental concept in statistics that helps researchers determine whether the findings from a sample can be generalized to the entire population. Your task is to delve into the meaning of statistical significance, how it is calculated, and its implications for making inferences about populations based on sample results.

Begin by defining statistical significance and explaining why it is important in research. Then discuss how statistical significance is assessed through hypothesis testing. In your discussion, be sure to include these three concepts: null and alternative hypotheses, significance level and p-values. I need at least 440 words and 3 sources and please do not use AI.
