Selectone(1) project from your working or educational environment in which you wouldusetheconfidenceintervaltechniquefor the process. Next, speculate ononetotwo(1-2) challenges of utilizing such atechniquein the process and suggest your strategy to mitigate the challenges in question. Confidence interval is a measure associated with uncertainty in a sample, associated with the sampling method used to derive the estimate (Nakagawa and Cuthill 1). I have worked in a rice milling company. The output of a machines used are not certain, since there are some factors such as the servicing interval, the age of the machine and humidity. These factors create the uncertainty while measuring the output. Some machines are rated 99 confidence interval while others are rated 95 confidence interval. The 99 implying that, the probability that the machine would produce unbroken rice is 99 percent, while the 95 interval would have at least 95 of the rice grains unbroken. The use of confidence interval is justifiable. Rice is usually graded according to the brand, and the percentage of broken grains. The 95 interval machine is cheaper, more energy efficient, and can mill 50 more rice per hour compared to its 99 counterpart. The 99 on the other hand is expensive, and the rice
