The 100(1-α)% confidence interval is an interval for which approximately 100(1-α)% of similarly constructed intervals (for a large number of independent samples) will contain the parameter being estimated. Usual values of α are 0.1 (90% confidence level), 0.05 (95% confidence level) and 0.01 (99% confidence level).
