             The degree of uncertainty for an estimate is represented through the use of a confidence interval. The confidence interval computed here is a 90-percent confidence interval  ,,,,,,,
             and can be interpreted roughly as providing 90-percent certainty that the true number falls between the lower and upper bounds.,,,,,,,
