The paragraph:
The relationship of story elements found in children’s generated stories to reading achievement was analyzed. Correlations ranged from .61101 (p=.64) at the beginning of first grade to 83546 (p=24.) at the end of first grade, to .85126(p=21) at the end of second grade, and to .82588 (p=.26) for fifth/ sixth grades. Overall, the correlation of the story elements to reading achievement appeared to indicate a high positive correlation trend even though it was not statistically significant
B is educationally significant
C departs greatly from chance expectations
D permits prediction of reading achievement by knowing the story elements
E indicate two measures (reading achievement and story elements) gives the same information.
The answer is D but I don't understand what "statistically significant" mean in this passage.I searched google and found that
In statistics, a result is called statistically significant if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance.
but it's not relative to what's stated in choice D
