Interval
calculates the confidence interval for an unknown population
mean when the population standard deviation is known.
The following is the confidence interval.
However,
α
is the level of significance. The value 100 (1 –
α
) % is the confidence
level.
When the confidence level is 95%, for example, inputting 0.95 produces 1 – 0.95 =
0.05 =
α
.
