Someone previous answered this question, but I need it broken down in to layman terms. We are allowed to use statcrunch. I just need help breaking it down better.

Definition Definition Method in statistics by which an observation’s uncertainty can be quantified. The main use of interval estimating is for describing a range that is made by transforming a point estimate by determining the range of values, or interval within which the population parameter is likely to fall. This range helps in measuring its precision.
