SciPy Significance Tests

What is Statistical Significance Test?

In statistics, statistical significance indicates that a result is not due to random chance but has a meaningful underlying reason.

SciPy offers a module called scipy.stats, which includes functions for performing statistical significance tests.

Here are some key techniques and terms that are important when conducting such tests:

Hypothesis in Statistics

A hypothesis is an assumption or conjecture about a parameter within a population.

Null Hypothesis

It assumes that the observation is not statistically significant.
