How to Use Confidence Interval Calculator

What Is a Confidence Interval?

A confidence interval can be conceived of like fishing with a net instead of a hook. You’re not just capturing one likely answer—you’re capturing the range of likely answers. It tells you, "Hey, the real answer is probably somewhere in here!"

For example, if a survey suggests 60% of people prefer coffee, but the confidence interval is 55% to 65%, that’s the "net" that holds the likely true percentage.

Why Are Confidence Intervals Important?

Because life isn’t precise! Nothing can be measured perfectly with a poll, survey, or experiment. That’s why we use confidence intervals, to capture uncertainty.

• They answer questions like
• "How confident are we in these findings?"
• "Could the real answer be a little higher or lower?"

Real-life Examples of Confidence Intervals

You've likely seen confidence intervals without even knowing them! Here are some examples:

Election Polls: "Candidate A is in the lead by 5 points, plus or minus 3."

Medical Studies: "This new drug is effective 80% of the time, plus or minus 5%."

Business Forecasts: "Sales should grow by 10% to 15% next quarter."
