CONFIDENCE INTERVAL

Specialty Definition: CONFIDENCE INTERVAL

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

In statistics, a range of values which is believed to include, with a preassigned degree of confidence (confidence level), the true characteristic of the lot or universe a given percentage of the time.For example: 95-percent confidence limits for a sample of 10 with a ratio of successes to total number tested of 0.9 (9 successes and 1 failure) would be 0.54 to 1.0. That is, even with an observed success ratio of 0.9 (90 percent) the best that can be said is that the true ratio lies between 0.54 (54 percent) and 1.0 (100 percent) an estimated 95 percent of the time.

Census

The sample estimate and its standard error permit the construction of a confidence interval which represents the degree of uncertainly about the estimate. Each American Community Survey and Census 2000 Supplementary Survey estimate is accompanied by the upper and lower bounds of the 90 percent confidence interval. A 90 percent confidence interval can be interpreted roughly as providing 90 percent certainty that the true number falls between the upper and lower bounds. Related terms: American Community Survey (ACS), Estimates (American Community Survey and Census 2000 Supplementary Survey),.Census 2000 Supplementary Survey (C2SS),.Standard error (ACS).
