Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The point at which the researcher determines what will qualify as significant is known as the level of significance. The p-value is a statistical measure of the probability of observing a test statistic as extreme as the one computed from the sample data, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. The confidence level is the degree of certainty that a specified interval contains the true population parameter. The level of hypothesis is not a commonly used term in statistics.
