One of your friends is reading a newspaper article, which notes that, in rats, a positive significant relationship exists between sugar consumption and obesity. The more sugar a rat consumes, the higher its overall body mass. Your friend asks you what it means that the results of this experiment were statistically significant. What do you tell him?

Answer:

The results are not related to chance.

Explanation:

If the results are statistically significant they are related to other factors than chance. The fact that in rats there is a postive relationship between sugar consumption and obesity is not related to chance. So, the more sugar a rat consumes, the higher its overall body mass. The independent variable the sugar a rat consumes, is statistically related to the dependent variable that is its body mass.
