Q

Define a confidence interval range and common intervals to know

A

A confidence interval is a range within which we have a given level of confidence of finding a point estimate (e.g., the 90% confidence interval for X
−1.65 to + 1.65s ).

Confidence intervals for any normally distributed random variable are:

90%: µ ± 1.65 standard deviations.
95%: µ ± 1.96 standard deviations.
99%: µ ± 2.58 standard deviations.
