Confidence intervals when conducting a single-sample test of hypothesis: Why are confidence intervals an example of an inferential rather than a descriptive statistic? What value is at the center of every confidence interval for a single-sample test? When we interpret a confidence interval, are we making a statement about the value of a sample mean or a population mean?
