Lyric Lyric is a loosely defined term for a broad category of non-narrative, non-dramatic poetry, which was originally sung or recited with a musical instrument, called a lyre [see voice, sound]. Generally, lyric poets rely on personal experience, close relationships, and description of feelings as their material.t is perhaps no coincidence that a contemporary definition of lyric is the words of a popular song (OED), since in both poetry and music the words are illogically connected for sound not meaning. Drama has likewise had to redefine itself so that theatricality remains its essence (Fried; see objecthood).
Youâve heard it a million times, the idea is that if you have an estimate of .003 (on some reasonable scale in which 1 is a meaningful effect size) and a standard error of .001 then, yes, the estimate is statistically significant but itâs not practically significant.
Why P Values and Confidence Intervals Always Agree About Statistical Significance. 1  If the P value is less than your significance (alpha) level, the hypothesis test is statistically significant. 2  If the confidence interval does not contain the null hypothesis value, the results are statistically significant.
