words of the week


10V) Creativity. It’s a simple word, yet there is so much to it. For me, creativity is a hard word to define because I think it has a different meaning for everybody. You could be creative in anything, whether it comes from music or art or in how you think. I believe that creativity is being able to express yourself in various forms and being able to expresses your emotions through that. By definition, creativity means, the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.




A new word that I came across in one of my classes this week is Confidence Interval. This appeared in my statistics class and by definition means a type of interval estimate of a population parameter and is used to indicate the reliability of an estimate. From class discussions, I can define it as an interval in which a statistical parameter is thought to lie.


Also in my statistic class, we talked about the word Confidence Level. By definition, it means a type of interval estimate of a population parameter and is used to indicate the reliability of an estimate. It is an observed interval (i.e. it is calculated from the observations), in principle different from sample to sample, that frequently includes the parameter of interest if the experiment is repeated. From class discussions, I learned that it mean the percent of confidence that the intervals contain the true statistical parameter.
