An example of how to calculate this confidence interval. The interval is generally defined by its lower and upper bounds. To construct a confidence interval estimate for an unknown population mean we need data from a random sample.
The percentage reflects the confidence level.
For example the population mean m is found using the sample mean x. That does not include the true mean. This is assuming that this is a confidence interval for the true population mean. ASuppose a random sample of 35 employees gives a mean of 504 thousand dollars per employee.
