CHAPTER 6 CONFIDENCE INTERVALS INTERVALS 6.1.
A confidenc confidencee interval interval is an interval interval of values values believed believed to contain contain an unknown unknown population population parameter. parameter. It has a given level of our belief, or confidence, that the interval contains the unknown parameter.

If the the pre-sam pre-sampli pling ng probabil probabilit% it% that the the parame parameter ter will will be captur captured ed in in an interva intervall is 1 − α , then &1 − α '100( of the intervals that would be constructed this wa% would contain the unknown parameter. )ence the confide confidence nce level level &1 − α '100( that we attach to a given, single interval we obtain.
