In areas of study like that of the statistics, statisticians only determine the probability of the population's trend from a sample pool. Hence, their results are not on point, but within a given range. For example, the interval estimate is written as 5 +/- 3. The domain is 5 while the range is plus or minus 3. Such that, the interval is between 2 to 8, inclusive.
