The adjective 'statistisch' (statistical) is derived directly from the noun 'die Statistik' (statistics). It describes anything related to the collection and analysis of data.

'Statistisch' (statistically) is very often used as an adverb at the beginning of a sentence. In this case, the conjugated verb comes directly after it in position 2.

A very common and useful phrase is 'statistisch gesehen' (statistically speaking). Other typical combinations are 'statistische Daten' (statistical data), 'ein statistischer Wert' (a statistical value), or 'statistisch erwiesen' (statistically proven).

significant
'statistisch' and 'signifikant' can both appear in texts about numbers, studies, and results. 'statistisch' says that something has to do with statistics, data, or statistical methods. 'signifikant' says that a difference is important or noticeable; in statistics, more specifically, it means that a result is probably not due to chance. Learners may confuse the words because you often hear 'statistisch signifikant' (statistically significant) together. In that case, 'statistisch' describes the field, and 'signifikant' evaluates the result.
Die Studie wurde statistisch ausgewertet, bevor die Ergebnisse veröffentlicht wurden.
