For example‚ if you use a confidence interval of 4 and 47% percent of your sample picks an answer you can be "sure" that if you had asked the question of the entire relevant population between 43% (47-4) and 51% (47+4) would have picked that answer.

of glass beads‚ we employed seeding during ultrasound-enhanced deracemization. We theorized that by introducing larger seed crystals to the system after the establishment of the monodispersed sized crystals (~2 hours)‚ we would broaden the crystal size distribution and thus allow the deracemization process to resume. To test this idea we performed seeded experiments using ultrasound‚ in which we introduced 2.5 g of large seed crystals (~200 µm‚ e_0= 40%) after sampling of the 2nd hour. Obviously
