z Confidence intervals for the Mean
Confidence intervals for the mean are a vital statistical tool used to estimate the range within which the true population mean lies with a certain level of confidence. They provide a measure of uncertainty around the sample mean, allowing researchers to infer about the population mean based on sample data. Calculated using sample statistics and the standard error of the mean, confidence intervals help quantify the precision of estimates and aid in drawing robust conclusions from data analysis. Understanding and interpreting confidence intervals are fundamental in various fields, including economics, medicine, and social sciences.
