When analyzing data using statistical methods, what does 'probability' relate to in scientific conclusions?

Question

Accepted Answer

The likelihood of a result occurring given the evidence, rather than an absolute statement.. Science deals in probabilities; conclusions suggest what the 'evidence suggests' rather than stating absolute, undeniable facts. This is directly supported by Source 3: "Science is about probability and not absolutes... Rather, they will point to what the “evidence suggests. ”"
