The Probability of a Confidence Interval Based on Minimal Estimates of the Mean and the Standard Deviation

Using two measurements, we produce an estimate of the mean and the sample standard deviation. We construct a confidence interval with these parameters and compute the probability of the confidence interval by using the cumulative distribution function and averaging over the parameters. The probabili...
