The level of probability of chance in an outcome
Alpha level
What is the standard alpha level?
0.05
The range of outcomes within a 95% certainty or in other words, 2 standard deviations from
the mean result. This range gives us an idea of where the "true" result is estimated to lie. It
tells us how precise an estimate is (if it is statistically significant). Narrow results are more
precise!
Confidence interval
The statistical value that indicates if the difference between the results in caused purely by
chance. The probability that we could have obtained the observed data if there was no
association between the intervention and the outcome. Results are statistically significant
when <0.05.
