One-Sample $z$ Confidence Interval Calculator



  • The $z$ procedures assume that our data come from an SRS and will give trustworthy conclusions only if this condition is met.

  • If your sample size is less than $15,$ the $z$ procedures yield trustworthy conclusions only if you can reasonably assume that your data comes from a normal distribution, that is, if the distribution appears to be symmetric with one peak and no outliers. If your data are obviously skewed or if there are any outliers, it is not advisable to use the $z$ procedures.

  • If your sample size is $15$ or larger, the $z$ procedures can be trusted if there are no outliers and the distribution is not obviously skewed.

  • If your sample size is $40$ or larger, you may use $z$ procedures even if your distribution appears to be skewed.
