Result methodology

Normal-based two-sided interval using the selected z critical value and supplied standard error.

Solution steps
  1. z* = 1.95996398454
  2. Margin of error = z* × SE = 9.799819922700001
  3. Interval = 90.2001800773 to 109.7998199227

How this calculator works

The interval is estimate ± z* × standard error, using the critical value for the selected confidence level.

Formula

estimate ± z* × SE

Computes a two-sided normal-based confidence interval from an estimate and its supplied standard error.

Worked example

95% interval is a verified test case used by the calculation engine.

Assumptions and limitations

  • The supplied standard error is positive.
  • The calculation uses a normal critical value rather than a t distribution.
  • Supported confidence levels are 80%, 90%, 95%, 98% and 99%.

Methodology & sources

This calculator uses deterministic, versioned calculation logic. The formula and verified examples above are part of the calculation definition used by CalcuMint.

Frequently asked questions

Does this calculate the standard error from raw data?

No. Enter the standard error directly.

Does this use a t distribution?

No. This certified version uses normal z critical values.
