Which of the following is not true about statistical significance? the difference is a result of random chance. the result is statistically significant when p-value is less than alpha level.

A new medical test has been designed to detect the presence of the mysterious Brainlesserian disease. Among those who have the disease, the probability that the disease will be detected by the new test is 0.7. However, the probability that the test will erroneously indicate the presence of the disease in those who do not actually have it is 0.04. It is estimated that 18% of the population who take the test have the disease. If the test is administered to an individual is positive, what is the probability that the person actually has the disease?
