Signifi cant doesnt mean important Suppose were testing a new antibacterial cream, Formulation NS. We know from previous research that, with no medication, the mean healing time (defi ned as the time for the scab to fall off ) is 7.6 days. We make a small cut on the inner forearm of 25 volunteer college students and apply Formulation NS to the wounds. Th e mean healing time for these subjects is x 5 7.1 days. A statistical test shows that this decrease in healing time is statistically signifi cant. Explain why this result has little practical importance. Moral: Statistical signifi cance is not the same as practical importance.
