Khan Academy: Interpreting a Confidence Interval for a Mean
After we build a confidence interval for a mean, it's important to be able to interpret what the interval tells us about the population and what it doesn't tell us.

Khan Academy: Interpreting a Z Interval for a Proportion
Once we build a confidence interval for a proportion, it's important to be able to interpret what the interval tells us about the population, and what it doesn't tell us. Let's look at few examples that demonstrate how to interpret a...
