There is a case where a woman does not exercise or eat healthy and has no medical issues; someone says that because of her, it justifies them not needing to workout. Explain how this is significant but not statistically significant.

What will be an ideal response?


It is significant in that the woman who doesn’t work out or eat healthy has a validated experience, but she may be an outlier. For it to be statistically significant, there would need to be more cases like her.
