The given question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:
Our text describes a trade-off that we must make as engineers between our confidence in the value of a parameter versus the precision with which we know the value of that parameter. That trade-off might be affected by whether we are looking at a two-sided or bounded (one-sided) interval.
Question: Discuss your interpretation of the confidence-precision trade-off, and provide a few examples of how you might make a choice in one direction or the other in an engineering situation.
Answer: A balancing point is required to be reached to obtain a better confidence level in the predicted values.
Explanation:
The confidence interval and precision are the two terms that aims at providing the accurate estimation of the measurability of an object. If the precision increases, we can compromise on the confidence level and if the confidence level increases, then the precision of the predicted value also dilutes.
Thus a balance point is required to be reached between these two variables so that we get better confidence in the values being predicted without losing the correct estimation on precision. Ensuring that both the confidence and precision are maintained.
