confidence Interval

# confidence interval
---------------------
- confidence interval expresses a range of values within which we are pretty sure the population parameter lies. (how much sure? can be answer by confidence level)
- e.g. A 95% confidence interval says that for every 100 confidence intervals we calculate from sample data, about 95 of them will contain the population parameter and 5 will not.
 
# confidence level
------------------
- how much sure? can be answer by confidence level
- It's like the bigger the butterfly catching net, the more confident you are to catch butterflies.

#misconception about confidence interval
---------------------------------------
- This is NOT the interval that holds the 95% of data in the population. 
- It is the interval that we are 95% confident will contain the true unknown value of population mean.
