1 Answer

Dec 3, 2017

Confidence level = 1 - significance level

Explanation:

Confidence level is denoted as #(1-\alpha)*100\%#, while significance level is denoted as #\alpha#.

For example, if confidence level is #95\%#, significance level is #5\%# , i.e, #\alpha = 0.05#

Hence, Confidence level = 1 - significance level
