P-values for the significant net difference test
In significant net difference tests, the P-values are printed in the ntd column in place of the value returned by the T statistic. Here is the same table as in Example of a significant net difference test, but with P-values instead of the value of the T statistic shown in the ABCD column.

NTD: Columns Tested (5% risk level) - A/B/C/D
The P-value is the probability that the difference is significant. In this table, any value less than or equal to 0.05 indicates a difference that is significant at the 95% confidence level or higher.
The P-values in this example show highly significant differences in the 1-3 months and Never tried rows. The differences between columns A and B are significantly different from the differences between columns C and D. No other rows have significant differences at the 95% confidence level.
