Lesson 5.4: Confidence Intervals

Confidence Interval (CI) is a range of values used to estimate a population parameter (like mean or proportion) with a certain level of confidence.

🔹 Key Concepts

1️⃣ Definition

  • A confidence interval tells us how sure we are about our estimate.

  • Example: The average height of students is 165 cm ± 3 cm (95% CI).
    → Means we are 95% confident that the true average height lies between 162 cm and 168 cm.

2️⃣ Confidence Level

  • Common levels: 90%, 95%, 99%.

  • 95% CI means: If we repeat the experiment 100 times, in about 95 times the true value will fall inside the interval.

3️⃣ Formula (for Mean, large sample)

CI=xˉ±Z×σnCI = \bar{x} \pm Z \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

  • xˉ\bar{x} = sample mean

  • ZZ = Z-score (1.96 for 95% CI)

  • σ\sigma = standard deviation

  • nn = sample size

✅ Quick Recap:

  • CI gives a range of possible values.

  • Wider interval = more uncertainty.

  • Narrow interval = more precise estimate.
