About Confidence Intervals

What Is a Confidence Interval?

A confidence interval is a range of values used to estimate the true population parameter, based on a sample. It expresses how certain we are that a population parameter lies within that range.

For example, a 95% confidence interval means that if we were to take 100 different samples and compute a confidence interval for each sample, we would expect about 95 of the intervals to contain the true population parameter.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter your sample mean, standard deviation, sample size, and select a confidence level (e.g., 95%). The calculator will return the confidence interval and margin of error.

Sample Mean (x̄): The average value of your sample data.

Standard Deviation (σ or s): The measure of dispersion in your data. Use population standard deviation (σ) if known, otherwise use sample standard deviation (s).

Sample Size (n): The number of observations in your sample.

Confidence Level: The probability that the confidence interval contains the true population parameter (typically 90%, 95%, or 99%).

Why Confidence Intervals Matter

Confidence intervals are essential in statistics and scientific research. They help quantify uncertainty and are used in everything from clinical trials to opinion polling.

Unlike a single-point estimate, confidence intervals provide a range that is likely to contain the population parameter, giving a more complete picture of the estimate's reliability.
