Formula & Methodology
The formula used to calculate the upper and lower limits is:
Upper Limit = Sample Mean ± (Z * Standard Error)
Lower Limit = Sample Mean – (Z * Standard Error)
Where Z is the Z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level, and Standard Error is calculated as:
Standard Error = Standard Deviation / √Sample Size
