French term
intervalle de confiance au risque de 5% du recouvrement moyen
French to English
Science
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
statistics
It's the word 'risque' that I'm having problems with. Does it simply mean '95% confidence interval' or does 'risque' mean 'error' here? The same word appears in a number of other contexts:
Valeurs théoriques (risque 5%)
...pas significativement differente de 0 au risque de 5%
Thanks to anyone who can help!

95% confidence interval
I think that's all that's meant here. See for example the link.
Note from asker:
| Many thanks for your help. In the end i came to the conclusion that here they've used 'risque' instead of 'écart type' for standard deviation, to me it's the only thing that really fits. |

| Thanks for that, Liz. In the end I opted for 'standard deviation'. I know that would usually be 'écart type', but it's the only thing that seemed to fit. |
