: = 0, The null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the measured results and the certified value:
p
-value: is the probability (at the 95% levels of confidence) of obtaining the test statistic assuming that the null hypothesis is true.
p
-value < 0.05 indicate a difference of statistical signifance between measured results and SRM.
95% confidence interval: The true population of the measured value expected to fall within the confidence interval estimate 95% of the time.
