If a confidence interval contains 0 is it significant

Confidence interval tells you the actual coefficient value can lie within that range. If that interval includes 0, that means the actual coefficient value can be zero and that means that the predictor has no relationship with the response variable or it is insignificant in terms of its influence on response variable.

What does it mean if a confidence interval includes 0?

If your confidence interval for a difference between groups includes zero, that means that if you run your experiment again you have a good chance of finding no difference between groups.

How do you know if a confidence interval is significant?

To determine whether the difference between two means is statistically significant, analysts often compare the confidence intervals for those groups. If those intervals overlap, they conclude that the difference between groups is not statistically significant. If there is no overlap, the difference is significant.

What if a 95 confidence interval includes 0?

If the 95% CI for the DIFFERENCE between the 2 groups contains the value 0, this means that the p-value will be greater than 0.05. Conversely, if the 95% CI does not contain the value 0, then the p-value will be strictly less than 0.05.

Do you reject if 0 is in the confidence interval?

Since zero is in the interval, it cannot be rejected. However, there is an infinite number of other values in the interval (assuming continuous measurement), and none of them can be rejected either.
