P-Value

The P-Value is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis incorrectly.  One minus the P-Value is the confidence level associated with the rejection of the null hypothesis that the estimated parameter value is equal to zero.  For example, if the P-Value is 0.0500 then the confidence level is 0.95 (95% level).  We can say that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis incorrectly is 5 percent or less.  That is, there is a 95% confidence level that the independent variable does influence the dependent variable at the level of the computed regression parameter.
