Generation

A confidence interval provides a range of plausible values for an unknown population parameter (like a mean or proportion) based on sample data, along with a level of confidence (typically 95%) that the true parameter falls within that range. It quantifies the uncertainty in our estimate and allows us to make informed decisions about the population while acknowledging sampling variability.
