Sample mean confidence interval calculator

Calculate lower confidence bound and upper confidence bound with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use lower confidence bound and upper confidence bound to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Lower confidence bound

a-d × b ÷ sqrt(c)

Upper confidence bound

a+d × b ÷ sqrt(c)

Symbols and units
a
Sample mean
b
Known population standard deviation
c
Sample size
d
Chosen normal critical z

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Calculation steps and notation

sqrt(x) is the non-negative square root of x.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Normal interval using a known population standard deviation and user-supplied critical z. This is not a t interval for an estimated standard deviation.
