Axiom completes the loop between AI, educators, and students

I'm trying to understand confidence intervals. I know it's about ranges, but why do we use them instead of just one number like a mean?
Sure, let's walk through it. A confidence interval gives a range where we're fairly certain the true population value lies. A single number, like the mean from a sample, doesn't capture the uncertainty. The interval shows how precise your estimate is and reflects how much the data can vary.
For example, saying "the average test score is 78" tells you one thing—but saying "we're 95% confident the average is between 75 and 81" gives more useful context. It acknowledges sampling variability and gives a clearer picture of what we might expect in the broader population.
So the wider the interval, the less confident we are?
Close! Actually, the width of the interval reflects the precision of your estimate. A wider interval usually means less precision, possibly because of a small sample size or more variability in your data.
But you can still have a 95% confidence even with a wide interval. It just means you're confident the true value is in a broader range. Narrower intervals indicate more precision—but you always need to interpret them in context.
Be sure to compare the confidence intervals from two different sample sizes in this week’s lab. It'll help you see how more data tightens those intervals. And don’t forget: just because two intervals overlap doesn’t always mean the difference isn't significant—watch for that nuance in the quiz.
Axiom turns your course materials into real-time support
Build AI agents in minutes - no coding needed. Customize their behavior, tone, and knowledge. Test and interate infinitely.
Upload the materials you already use: slides, docs, assignments, etc. Be certain your students have access to the best AI: the one you built.
Chats can span the entire class, group, or be 1-to-1 workspaces where students, educators, and AI can collaborate in real time.
Track questions, topics, and engagement trends. Use data to refine instruction, identify gaps, and support learners more effectively.
You'll get smart summaries of AI-student interactions, alerts for common issues, and tools to intervene or adjust content when needed.
Deployable on your own campus. Your content stays yours, student data remains private, and every interaction is governed by your policies, not ours.
Axiom adapts to the way you teach
Why AI Tutors?
Students Already Use AI
Over 80% of students report using AI tools. With Axiom, you can "take back control" by bringing them back into a supported learning environment—using an AI tutor built from your own course content instead of tools where the instructor isn't present.
Boost Productivity
AI tutors and agents can take on the repetitive, everyday questions that consume time. This gives educators more space to focus on meaningful interactions and deeper learning while ensuring students always have support when they need it.
Adapt for What's Next
AI tutors turn every question into feedback, helping you see patterns and anticipate student needs. With these insights, you can continually adapt your course, keep content relevant, and ensure your teaching stays ahead in a changing learning landscape.
