In brief

\n

Confidence interval shows whether our assumed hypothesis fall in between or not.
\nand percentage is the probability which shows what is the probability of getting assumed hypothesis to be true.

Are you assuming the confidence in the competition is referring to something else? So far my assumption is this is nothing different.

\n

\"Confidence levels are expressed as a percentage (for example, a 95% confidence level). It means that should you repeat an experiment or survey over and over again, 95 percent of the time your results will match the results you get from a population (in other words, your statistics would be sound!). Confidence intervals are your results and they are usually numbers. For example, here, for a specific group of features, we want to know FVC. You test your statistics at the 99 percent confidence level and get a confidence interval of (x,y). That means you think the FVC is between x and y You’re super confident (99% is a very high level!) that your results are sound, statistically.\" Correct me if I'm wrong.
