A confidence interval is a range of population values that is compatible with the sample data however statistical significance utilizes data from a given hypothesized population. The validity of the confidence interval is based on same or similar populations and an average mean of all available data sets. Studies which utilize confidence intervals solely run the risk of a factual result or estimate of similar studies being different in some shape or form, from the demographics of the proposed sample of ...
