Estimate a binomial proportion with an approximate 95% Wilson score interval. All default values are fictional.

Calculation results

Observed proportion: 0.25

95% lower limit: 0.111862

95% upper limit: 0.468701

Assumptions and limits

Independent Bernoulli observations with one common probability. Unadjusted two-sided Wilson interval without continuity correction; not exact coverage. Allows zero or all events. Not for clustered, weighted, paired or censored observations. Counts must be whole numbers, total 1–100 million.
