"In the previous example we saw that our process of estimation produced a good interval about 95% of the time, a \"good\" interval being one that contains the parameter. We say that we are *95% confident* that the process results in a good interval. Our interval of estimates is called a *95% confidence interval* for the parameter, and 95% is called the *confidence level* of the interval.\n",
