==============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine you are going fishing for an elusive sea creature of some kind. Casting a very wide net means we are more confident in catching the creature, in comparison to using a smaller net.

The fishing net is analogous to the width of the confidence interval. The wider the confidence interval, the more confident that we're capturing the parameter we're trying to measure.
