Definitions:

T-Distribution

A probability distribution that arises when estimating the mean of a normally distributed population in situations where the sample size is small and population standard deviation is unknown.

Confidence Interval

A set of numerical values, obtained from statistical analysis of a sample, which is expected to encompass the actual value of a parameter from a larger, unspecified population.

Standard Error

An estimate of the standard deviation of a sampling distribution, reflecting the accuracy with which a sample represents a population.

Confidence Interval

A span of numbers obtained from sample data, which probably includes the value of an unknown parameter from the overall population.
