What is a confidence interval?

Back

A confidence interval is a range of values, derived from sample statistics, that is likely to contain the value of an unknown population parameter. It is expressed as 'point estimate ± margin of error'.

What does the Large Counts condition state?

Back

Front

If the 95% Confidence Interval for a population mean is (114.56, 125.54), can we conclude that the true population mean µ is greater than 130?

Back

No, because 130 is outside the confidence interval.
