There is a close relationship between confidence intervals and significance tests. Specifically, if a statistic is significantly different from 0 at the 0.05 level, then the 95% confidence interval will not contain 0.

Matthew Bennett, BSc in Physics from UC in Christchurch, New Zealand. Views. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 100,000 pascals (101,325 Pa by definition.) Air pressure is usually measured in hectopascals (hPa), the hecto prefix corrsponding to 100 (a hecatre is a square with 100m sides), so 1 atmosphere is approximately 1000 hPa. A pascal is the SI unit for pressure, defined as 1 newton per square metre.
