4.Z-INT: p1− p2.: Confidence interval for the difference of two proportions, p1-p2, for large samples with unknown population variances.

5.T-INT: 1 .: Single sample confidence interval for the population mean, , for small samples with unknown population variance.

6.T-INT: ∝1−∝2.: Confidence interval for the difference of the population means, 1- 2, for small samples with unknown population variances.

Example 1 – Determine the centered confidence interval for the mean of a population if a sample of 60 elements indicate that the mean value of the sample is x = 23.2, and its standard deviation is s = 5.2. Use α = 0.05. The confidence level is C = 1-α= 0.95.
