Confidence intervals and confidence level

Usually the probability is zero of the estimate becoming exactly the true value of the parameter.\\

\begin{block}{Confidence intervals}
An interval which contains the true value with a confidence level \mbox{1 - $\alpha$}.
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Confidence level}
The proportion of cases where the confidence interval contains the true parameter, in repeated experiments.
\end{block}


\begin{block}{Confidence limits}
are the endpoints of the confidence interval, called the {\bf lower and upper confidence limit} (or bounds)
\end{block}
Details
Usually the probability is zero of the estimate becoming exactly the true value of the parameter.\\

\begin{block}{Confidence interval}
is a numerical interval which contains the true value with a given confidence level \mbox{1 - $\alpha$}.
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Confidence level}
The ratio of cases when the confidence interval contains the true value of the parameter, when the experiment is repeated very often.

are the endpoints of the confidence interval, called the {\bf lower and upper confidence limit} (or bounds)
