This document discusses how to calculate confidence intervals for a population mean. When the sample size is greater than or equal to 30, the population is considered normal and the confidence interval is calculated as x ± Z1−α/2σ/√n. When the sample size is less than 30, the population is not assumed to be normal and the confidence interval is calculated as x ± t1−α/2,n−12S/√n. The document provides the formulas for calculating confidence intervals for a mean based on whether the population is normal or non-normal.
