This task provides a clear working procedure on confidence interval for mean and confidence interval for proportion. The 95% confidence interval for mean was calculated using the normal distribution table when the population standard deviation is known. for unknown population standard deviation and sample size less than 30, we use t distribution table to compute the confidence intervals. for confidence interval of proportion, we use normal distribution table values
