What kind of confidence interval indicates it's statistically significant? In the sciences, in my experience, a lot of times you see 95% as the standard of confirming correlation, or is it something else?

This is awesome.

Yeah, we use 95% for all out stat testing. If you click the "Advanced" tab of any analysis you can see the actual p-value, too.
