How the results are displayed
The null hypothesis is that the two figures being compared are equal, that is, the difference between them is zero. The following table shows the symbols that are displayed on the table for different results.

That is:
▪If the result of the test is significant at the specified significance level, UNICOM Intelligence Professional places the letter S in the additional column.
▪If you run the test at two significance levels, results that are significant at the higher level are displayed using an uppercase S, and results that are significant at the lower level are displayed using a lowercase s.
▪If the result of the test is not significant at the selected level(s), but is significant at the 32% significance level (equivalent to a p value of 0.32 or a confidence level of 68%, indicating that the difference between the figures being compared is at least one standard deviation away from zero) UNICOM Intelligence Professional places the letters NS in the additional column.
▪If the difference between the figures being compared is not significant at the 32% significance level (that is, the difference is less than one standard deviation away from zero) UNICOM Intelligence Professional places the letter E in the additional column.
