... We interpret a confidence interval as follows. A confidence interval with confidence level (1 )100% is an interval obtained from sample data by a method such that, (1 - )100% of all intervals obtained by this method would, in fact, contain the true value of the parameter, and 100% of all interva ...

German tank problem
In the statistical theory of estimation, the problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement is known in English as the German tank problem, due to its application in World War II to the estimation of the number of German tanks.The analyses illustrate the difference between frequentist inference and Bayesian inference.Estimating the population maximum based on a single sample yields divergent results, while the estimation based on multiple samples is an instructive practical estimation question whose answer is simple but not obvious.
