StatisticalsignificanceStatistical significance is a measure of the degree ofdifference between survey data estimates. The potential forsampling error — that is, the error that occurs by chancebecause the data are obtained from only a sample and notthe entire population — means that reported responses maynot indicate the true responses.Using the relative standard errors (RSE) of survey dataestimates, it is possible to use a formula to test whether thedifference is statistically significant. If there is an overlapbetween confidence intervals for different data items, itcannot be stated for certain that there is a statisticallysignificant difference between the results. See ‘confidenceintervals’ and ‘relative standard error’.Torres StraitIslander peopleUniversitiesAdmissions Index(UAI)Very remotePeople who identify as being of Torres Strait Islanderorigin.
