Definition/description

The formula is designed for estimating population parameters, which must be interval/ratio measure and o
especially population arithmetic mean, whose variable measures are interval/ratio.
The formula presupposes a knowledge of the population variance (maybe taken from previous research o
similar population). It also requires a given confidence level and a margin of error
which must be interval/ratio measure and of similar unit of measure
