Confidence Interval Basics

Express estimate uncertainty

Confidence intervals provide a range of plausible parameter values given data and a confidence level, reflecting sampling variability.

Interpret

A 95% CI means this method captures the true value in 95% of repeats.

Compute Factors

Depends on sample size, variance, and chosen confidence.

Communicate

Report interval endpoints and assumptions, not just point estimates.
