Solution

This is known as a Confidence Interval. It is a type of estimate computed from the statistics of the observed data. This proposes a range of plausible values for an unknown parameter (such as the mean). The interval has an associated confidence level that the true parameter is in the proposed range. For example, a 95% confidence interval covers 95% of the normal curve -- the probability that the true parameter lies within the interval is 95%.
