No. It is the change in velocity (not speed) during a given interval of time. It can be an increase or a decrease although a decrease is also called a deceleration.
The distinction between velocity and speed can best be illustrated by an object going round in a circle at a constant speed. It is changing direction all the time so that its velocity is constantly changing. It is constantly accelerating even though it is travelling at constant speed.

Which of these is an increase of speed during a given interval of time?
positive acceleration
What is meant by length of an interval?
If suppose a tea break is given in a discussion session, say for 15 minutes, then this duration 15 minutes is the length of the interval. If we have to increase that length then we may make it to be 20 minutes.
How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?
You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.
How do you find interval estimate?
There are different types of interval estimates. Given a rounded value for some measure, the interval estimate, based on rounding, is the interval from the minimum value that would be rounded up to the given value to the maximum value that would be rounded down to the given value. For example, given 4.5 with rounding to the tenths, the minimum of the interval is 4.45 and the maximum is 4.55 so that the interval estimate is (4.45, 4.55). Statistical interval estimates for a random variable (RV) are probabilistic. For example, given some probability measure (for example 95% or 5% significance level), the interval estimate for a random variable is any interval such that the probability of the true value being inside that interval is 95%. Often the interval is symmetrical about the mean value of the RV that is being estimated, but this need not be the case - particularly if the RV is near an extreme of the distribution.
How do you find distance given acceleration and speed?
acceleration times speed
