A confidence interval is a statistical range that estimates the true value of a population parameter, constructed from sample data. It provides a range of values within which we can be reasonably confident that the true parameter lies, typically expressed with a certain level of confidence, such as 95% or 99%. This concept is crucial for understanding the uncertainty and variability in estimates derived from sample statistics.
