How the Confidence Interval Calculator Works

Our confidence interval calculator provides precise statistical analysis for both population means and proportions, automatically selecting the appropriate distribution and providing detailed interpretations.

  1. Mean Confidence Intervals: Calculate confidence intervals for population means using either Z-distribution (known σ) or t-distribution (unknown σ) based on your data.
  2. Proportion Confidence Intervals: Calculate confidence intervals for population proportions using the normal approximation with appropriate continuity corrections.
  3. Comprehensive Results Display: View detailed statistical output including margin of error, critical values, standard error, and confidence interval bounds.
  4. Multiple Confidence Levels: Choose from standard confidence levels (90%, 95%, 99%) or enter a custom confidence level for specialized analysis.
  5. Statistical Interpretation: Get clear, educational interpretations of your confidence interval results to understand what they mean in practical terms.

The calculator automatically selects the appropriate statistical distribution and provides accurate critical values for reliable confidence interval estimation.
