Confidence Interval

The population is normally distributed;

yet we strive to surpass the limit,

to reject our alternative;

only to never reach the critical value of our hypothesis test,

despite the endless trials;

bounded by the positive and negative of our 95% confidence interval.

But, why then does the .025 seem so insignificant?

Yet, simultaneously all encompassing,

a distorted prediction of our tolerance level;

the irony of confidence,

the validity of impostor syndrome

because despite how positive our z-score is,

we’ll never converge to one,

inevitably defined by the skew.
