This document discusses how to calculate a confidence interval using a formula that involves the point estimate, standard error, and critical value from the t or normal distribution. It notes that a sample size greater than 30 or a normally distributed population is needed to use the normal distribution, otherwise the t distribution should be used, and the t distribution should be used if the population standard deviation is unknown.
