- Consider using a different confidence interval if your data is not normally distributed.
Module G: Interactive FAQ
What is a confidence interval?
A confidence interval is a range of values around a sample statistic (like the mean) that is likely to contain the population parameter with a certain degree of confidence.
What does the Z-score represent?
The Z-score represents the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean.
