confidence level

How sure you're

A confidence level is the probability that a statistical estimate falls within a specified range.

In research, a 95% confidence level means that if the study were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting intervals would contain the true value: The poll has a 95% confidence level with a 3-point margin of error.

Outside statistics, confidence level describes how certain someone feels about something: What's your confidence level that we'll finish on time?
