Problem

When would you use a confidence interval versus a p-value, and how do you interpret statistical significance?

Explain the purpose of each measure, how they relate to hypothesis tests, and what conclusions are justified when a result is statistically significant or not statistically significant. Address the distinction between statistical significance and practical importance. Use general notation rather than a specific dataset, and state any assumptions behind your explanation.
