You know putting "right" at the end turns your comment from helpful to dickish, right?
It comes up at least 95% of the time when discussing statistical analysis.
You may be referring to p-values, and the arbitrary 0.05 threshold but in that case, the connection is risky at best and wrong in general (common misinterpretation of p-value as probability of alternative being false)
