Hi Peter:

Sad to say, but in statistics, "not significant" does not mean much. To be
significant :-) , "not significant" must be accompanied by a significance
level.
For example, "not significant at the 5% level" means that there was a 5%
chance of the result being due to random variation between samples.
"Not significant" should not be construed as "meaningless". A result which
is "not significant at the 1% level" can be quite significant at the 5%
level.
Best regards,
Donald Aitken
