Suppose that a 95% confidence interval for μ is given by 
.This notation means that,if we repeatedly draw samples of the same size from the same population,95% of the values of 
will be such that μ would lie somewhere between 
.
Confidence Interval
A range of values, derived from sample statistics, that is likely to contain the value of an unknown population parameter at a specified confidence level.
Population Mean
The mean value of all the elements within a population.
Sample Size
The number of observations or data points used in a study or experiment.
- Understand the concept of confidence intervals and their application in estimating population parameters.
- Differentiate between precise and erroneous comprehensions of confidence intervals.
