Confidence interval

Confidence interval · CI

An interval describing the precision of an estimate, commonly reported at 95%.

How to read it

For a similar estimate, a wider interval generally indicates less precision.

A common pitfall

95% describes repeated-sampling coverage of the method, not a 95% probability for a fixed parameter in this interval.
