: = 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
