Its more of a religious reason... Hinduism believes that the soul and body are separate ... While some other religions believe that the soul and body are doubles ... if the body is hurt, the soul is hurt ...
DEFINITION of 'Confidence Interval'. A term used in inferential statistics that measures the probability that a population parameter will fall between two set values. The confidence interval can take any number of probabilities, with the most common being 95% or 99%. Next Up.
The error here is the error (except 1.96 replaces 2) that we used for our estimates of probability based on resampling. This confidence interval has the same interpretation as the one in the last section; i.e., we are fairly confident that the true population proportion is contained in the interval. Baseball Example. For the baseball data, Hence, the confidence interval is (.2542 - .1111, .2542 + .1111) = (.143, .365) .
