Definitions:

Confidence Bound

The upper or lower value of a confidence interval, marking the range within which a population parameter is expected to lie with a certain probability.

Battery Pack

A battery pack is a collection of batteries configured in a series or parallel to provide the desired voltage and current levels for powering electronic devices or vehicles.

Population Standard Deviation

A measure of the dispersion of a set of values in a population, indicating how much the values typically deviate from the mean of the population.

Sample Mean

The average value of a sample set of numbers, calculated as the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations.
