(181) Critical region - Significance level
The set of possible values of the statistic used such that, if the value of the statistic that results from the observed values belongs to the set, the null hypothesis will be rejected. Conversely, the null hypothesis will be accepted if the opposite is the case. Critical regions are determined in such a way that if the null hypothesis is true, the probability of this null hypothesis being rejected should not be more than a generally low value (e.g. 5% or 10%).
