A definition for the statistical significance of a signal in an experiment is proposed by establishing a correlation between the observed p-value and the normal distribution integral probability, which is suitable for both counting experiment and continuous test statistics. The explicit expressions to calculate the statistical significance for both cases are given.

Search for the production of dark Higgs in the framework of Mono-Z$^{\prime}$ portal at the FCC-ee simulated electron-positron collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 240$ GeV
Upper limits at 95% CL are placed on the mass of the dark Higgs boson in the Mono-Z' portal model from simulated FCC-ee data at 240 GeV center-of-mass energy.
