Statistical estimates cannot be exact: there is a degree of uncertainty associated with any statistical estimate. A confidence interval is a range such that the estimated value belongs to the confidence interval with the stated probability.
Confidence intervals of critical statistics provide a range of values within which we can reasonably estimate the true value of a population parameter based on our sample data. They are constructed by calculating the critical statistic, such as the mean or proportion, and then determining the upper and lower bounds of the interval using the standard error and a desired level of confidence, usually 95% or 99%. The confidence interval helps us understand the uncertainty around our estimates and provides a measure of the precision of our results.
Confidence level 99%, and alpha = 1%.
No. Doubt is the antonym of confidence.
