Confidence Interval Calculator

Calculate a z-based confidence interval for a mean using sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample size, and confidence level.

Formula:
CI = mean ± z* · (sd / √n)

How it works

This tool uses common z critical values: 1.645 for 90%, 1.96 for 95%, 2.576 for 99%.

Examples

  • mean = 70, sd = 12, n = 100, 95%
  • Standard error = sd / √n
  • Margin of error = z* × standard error

FAQ

  • What does this confidence interval calculator compute?

    It computes a z-based confidence interval for a mean using sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample size, and selected confidence level.

  • What confidence levels are supported?

    This page supports common z-based levels such as 90%, 95%, and 99%.

  • Why must sample size be greater than 0?

    Because the standard error uses the square root of sample size in the denominator.

  • Are calculations stored?

    No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
