Two-sided Confidence Intervals

The two-sided $ 100\cdot(1-\alpha)\%$ confidence interval is centered at $ \overline{x}$ and has upper and lower limits given by:

   upper limit$\displaystyle \;=\;\overline{x}+t_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$   Cell B14

   lower limit$\displaystyle \;=\;\overline{x}-t_{\alpha/2}\cdot\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$   Cell B16
