    Very Nice:

    When teaching confidence intervals, this gets your point across. Use Football in the Fall and basketball in the spring:

    Friday:  IBM projects that The University of Florida has a 20% chance of winning.

    Monday: The result is in and Florida lost. There is nothing random now.  But you can say my procedure had a 95% chance of trapping the true value.

    After the experiment, our confidence interval t either contains the parameter or not. We do not know which but the truth now k=knows with certainty. 

    Simulations can also help.

    Best,

    Jon
