if the confidence interval is 24.4 to 38.0 than the average is the exact middle: 31.2, and the margin of error is 6.8
What percentage of times will the mean (population proportion) not be found within the confidence interval?
Confidence intervals may be calculated for any statistics, but the most common statistics for which CI's are computed are mean, proportion and standard deviation. I have include a link, which contains a worked out example for the confidence interval of a mean.
You probably mean the confidence interval. When you construct a confidence interval it has a percentage coverage that is based on assumptions about the population distribution. If the population distribution is skewed there is reason to believe that (a) the statistics upon which the interval are based (namely the mean and standard deviation) might well be biased, and (b) the confidence interval will not accurately cover the population value as accurately or symmetrically as expected.
THe answer will depend on whether the confidence interval is central or one-sided. If central, then -1.28 < z < 1.28 -1.28 < (m - 18)/6 < 1.28 -7.68 < m - 18 < 7.68 10.3 < m < 25.7
No, it is not. A 99% confidence interval would be wider. Best regards, NS
Never!
Point Estimate of the Mean: The point estimate of the mean is 16, since this is the sample mean. 95% Confidence Interval Estimate for the Mean: The 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean can be calculated using the following formula: Mean +/- Margin of Error = (16 +/- 1.96*(9/sqrt(50))) = 16 +/- 1.51 = 14.49 to 17.51 99% Confidence Interval Estimate for the Mean: The 99% confidence interval estimate for the mean can be calculated using the following formula: Mean +/- Margin of Error = (16 +/- 2.58*(9/sqrt(50))) = 16 +/- 2.13 = 13.87 to 18.13
The confidence interval is not directly related to the mean.

The Confidence Interval is a particular type of measurement that estimates a population's parameter. Usually, a confidence interval correlates with a percentage. The certain percentage represents how many of the same type of sample will include the true mean. Therefore, we would be a certain percent confident that the interval contains the true mean.
A confidence interval of x% is an interval such that there is an x% probability that the true population mean lies within the interval.
Confidence interval considers the entire data series to fix the band width with mean and standard deviation considers the present data where as prediction interval is for independent value and for future values.
The mean plus or minus 2.576 (4/sqr.rt. 36)= 1.72 So take your average plus or minus 1.72 to get your confidence interval
1.96
1.0966
