| Summary: | The class of skew normal distributions, introduced by Azzalini (1985), which is an asymmetric distribution and allows the presence of skewness. In this paper, we propose the pivotal quantity approach to construct the confidence interval for the mean, prediction interval for the mean of the future sample, and tolerance interval for the quantile. The fiducial distribution is also studied. Moreover, the performances of all the proposed confidence intervals are investigated through the Monte Carlo simulation. The pivotal quantity is a common method for calculating confidence intervals, which is used to construct confidence intervals in this paper. And the convergence of the obtained confidence interval is illustrated by the figures. Finally, a real data is used to explain proposed intervals in real life.
