Enter the sample mean, standard deviation, sample size and a confidence level (e.g. 95%) to estimate the confidence interval for the population mean with a z value, for large samples or known population SD.
大样本或已知总体标准差时使用 Z 分布。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Confidence interval for the mean | CI = xbar ± z · (sigma / sqrt(n)) | NIST/SEMATECH e-Handbook of Statistical Methods §1.3.5.2 |
| Unknown sigma, large sample | CI = xbar ± z · (s / sqrt(n)) | NIST/SEMATECH e-Handbook of Statistical Methods §1.3.5.2 |
| Common z values | A two-sided 95% level corresponds to z = 1.96 | NIST/SEMATECH e-Handbook of Statistical Methods, normal quantiles |
| Meaning of confidence level | About (1 - alpha) of intervals from repeated samples cover the true value | ISO 3534-1:2006, Statistics - Vocabulary and symbols |
