Though I won't likely understand it, can you tell me why? Or give me some kind of link? |
It just means that 95% of the normal distribution is within 1.96 Standard Deviations of the mean. Unless you are doing work for a project where accuracy is extremely important the difference between 2 and 1.96 will be hardly noticable and would just give us like the 95.4% confidence interval(So in our case the 2 is probably fine).
