5-6-2 Confidence Intervals Explained

Key Concepts of Confidence Intervals

Confidence intervals are a range of values, derived from a data sample, that is likely to contain the value of an unknown population parameter. Key concepts include:

1. Confidence Level

The confidence level is the probability that the confidence interval contains the true population parameter. Common confidence levels are 90%, 95%, and 99%.

Example:

If you calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of students in a school, you are 95% confident that the interval contains the true mean height of all students in the school.

2. Margin of Error

The margin of error is the range around the sample statistic within which the true population parameter is expected to lie. It is influenced by the confidence level and the variability of the data.

Example:

If the sample mean height is 165 cm with a margin of error of 2 cm, the confidence interval is 163 cm to 167 cm.

3. Sample Statistic

The sample statistic is a value calculated from the sample data, such as the mean or proportion. It is used to estimate the population parameter.

Example:

The sample mean height of 165 cm is used to estimate the true mean height of all students in the school.

4. Standard Error

The standard error is the standard deviation of the sample statistic. It measures the variability of the sample statistic and is used to calculate the margin of error.

Example:

If the standard error of the mean height is 1 cm, it indicates that the sample mean height varies by about 1 cm from sample to sample.

Examples and Analogies

To better understand confidence intervals, consider the following analogy:

Imagine you are trying to estimate the average number of apples in a large basket. You take several small samples, calculate the average number of apples in each sample, and then determine a range (confidence interval) within which the true average number of apples in the entire basket is likely to lie.

Practical Applications

Understanding confidence intervals is crucial for various real-world applications, such as:
