Confidence Level


In statistics, the degree of desired trust or assurance in a given result.
A confidence level is always associated with some assertion and measures the probability that a given assertion is true. For example, it could be the probability that a particular characteristic will fall within specified limits, i.e., the chance that the true value of P lies between P = a and P = b. See confidence interval.
