03. ScreenCast: Sampling Distributions and Confidence Intervals

In this video, you saw an example of how to build a confidence interval using the sampling distribution of the statistic that best estimates your parameter of interest. In this case, we used a sample mean height to estimate the population mean height.

You can interpret your confidence interval as We are 95 % confident, the population mean falls between the bounds that you find . Notice that the percent and the parameter can both change depending on what you are building your confidence interval for, and what percentage you cutoff in each tail.
