What is a confidence interval?

Back

A confidence interval is a range of values used to estimate the true value of a population parameter, indicating the degree of uncertainty around the estimate.

What does the margin of error represent in a confidence interval?

Back

The margin of error indicates the range within which the true population parameter is expected to fall, based on the sample data.

What is a point estimate?

Back

A point estimate is a single value estimate of a population parameter, often the midpoint of a confidence interval.

What is the interpretation of a confidence level (e.g., 95%)?

Back

A 95% confidence level means that if we were to take many samples and build a confidence interval from each, approximately 95% of those intervals would contain the true population parameter.
