The answer is "t he results were practically significant but not statistically significant".

Statistical significance is computed by utilizing a p-value, which reveals to you the likelihood of your outcome being watched, given that a specific statement is true. If this p-value is not as much as the significance level set (typically 0.05), the experimenter can expect that the invalid speculation is false and acknowledge the alternative hypothesis.
