These ranges consist of two points, representing the reasonable "best case" and "worst case" scenarios. Because no estimate can be 100 percent reliable, businesses must be able to know how confident they should be in their estimates and whether or not to act on them.

It was proved that probability, measured in a confidence interval, is another piece of data that can help the end user make an informed decision.
