Confidence Interval Challenge

Given sample data from real business scenarios, construct the 95% confidence interval and see if it captures the true population mean.

How It Works

  • You will face 10 business scenarios with sample statistics (n, x̄, s)
  • For each scenario, enter the lower and upper bounds of your 95% CI
  • The correct CI uses: x̄ ± t* · (s / √n) with df = n − 1
  • 10 points if your CI captures the true mean and is close to the correct width
  • 5 points if your CI captures the true mean but is too wide
  • 0 points if your CI misses the true mean entirely
  • After all 10 rounds, see your score, grade, and a CI visualization
95% Confidence Interval Formula
x̄ ± t*0.025, df · (s / √n)
