Answer to Question 1

THE CONVERSATIONAL MEANING IMPLIES PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE, WHILE THE STATISTICAL MEANING MAY NOT; IT ONLY INTERPRETS THE SIZE OF THE P-VALUE.

Answer to Question 2

1) THE MAGNITUDE OF THE EFFECT (WHAT ITS ACTUAL VALUE IS ESTIMATED TO BE); AND 2) HOW MUCH UNCERTAINTY THERE WAS IN THE RESULTS, MEASURED BY THE WIDTH OR BY THE MARGIN OF ERROR.
