The confidence level has its corresponding coefficient which is called
confidence coefficients. These coefficients are used to find the margin of error, for
instance, the table below shows the corresponding coefficient confidence level
.
Confidence 99% 98% 96% 95% 92% 90% 85% 80% 70%
Level 0.99 0.98 0.96 0.95 0.92 0.90 0.85 0.80 0.70
Zc 2.58 2.33 2.05 1.96 1.75 1.645 1.44 1.28 1.04

Therefore, the margin of error is 0.82
What is the confidence interval in the given statement? To find the
confidence interval, we have to use Lower limit < 𝝁< Upper limit and
substitute the given data. We have,
77.18 < 𝝁< 78.82 or (77.18, 78.82)
So, the Confidence interval is between 77.18 and 78.82.
What is the confidence level? How will you conclude?
The confidence level is 90%. So, we are 90% confident that the mean score
lies between 77.18 and 78.82.
Note: Sometimes, you just need to convert the formula to find what is missing.
