you must use the chi-quare table with one degree of freedom. Confidence Level A confidence level refers to the likelihood that the true population parameter lies within the range specified by the confidence interval . The confidence level is usually expressed as a percentage. Thus, a 95% confidence level implies that the probability that the true population parameter lies within the confidence interval is 0.95. Here, the confidence level (95%) implies a probability equal to 0.95 Significance Level
