Confidence Interval: Statisticians use a confidence interval to express the degree of uncertainty associated with a sample statistic.

Confidence intervals are preferred to point estimates and to interval estimates, because only confidence intervals indicate (a) the precision of the estimate and (b) the uncertainty of the estimate.
