Significance Level

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis in a statistical test when it is true. Often denoted by alpha, it's a measure of the risk of a Type I error.

Confidence Coefficient

The probability level associated with a confidence interval, often expressed as a percentage, indicating the degree of certainty in the estimate.

Type I Error

A statistical error that occurs when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected.

Type II Error

A statistical error that occurs when a false null hypothesis is not rejected. It represents a miss or a failure to detect an effect or difference that actually exists.
