latitude of rejection

Latitude of rejection refers to the range of test scores or results that a test or assessment allows before rejecting a hypothesis, individual, or item. It represents the tolerance or margin within which the data is considered acceptable and not cause for rejection. Essentially, it defines how much deviation from a standard or expected value is permissible before concluding that something is significantly different or faulty. Understanding this helps determine whether a result is acceptable or if it indicates a need for further investigation or action.
