Five out of six is not statistically significant

If you flip a fair coin six times there is an 11% chance of getting heads on five or six of the flips. A p-value of .11 is not considered statistically significant.

If it were six out of six correct, on the other hand, the p-value would have been 0.015, which generally is considered significant.

Perhaps how they chose the number of trials.
