A researcher used t-test to compare two means based on independent samples and found the t-value to be significant at .05 level. This means that :

Chances are 95 out of 100 that the difference between means has occurred due to sampling errors.

Chances are 5 out of 100 that the difference between means has occurred due to sampling errors.

If experiment is repeated 100 times, it would give the obtained result only 5 times.

If the experiment is repeated 5 times, it would give the same result every time.
