When conducting user research, it's essential to understand the concept of statistical significance. Statistical significance refers to the probability that the results of a study are due to chance rather than a real effect. In this guide, we'll explore the importance of statistical significance in user research and how to calculate it.
To calculate statistical significance, you'll need to determine the sample size, confidence level, and effect size. We'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to calculate these values and interpret the results.
There are several factors that can affect the statistical significance of a study, including sample size, confidence level, and effect size. We'll explore each of these factors in-depth and provide tips on how to optimize your study for statistical significance.
To help illustrate the concept of statistical significance, we'll provide real-world examples of user research studies that have used statistical significance to inform their design decisions. We'll show how these studies calculated statistical significance and what insights they gained from their results.
