Thorsten Sch=C3=A4fer commented on MATH-1038:
----------------------------------------

1. I was thinking that one might want something like "how many numbers of s=
uccess can I expect in at least 95% cases based on a binomial sample", whic=
h would be an interval of integers instead of doubles. However, currently i=
ts just a "stupid" type structure doing nothing else but wrapping two value=
s. Feel free to get rid of the generic numbers.
3. Yes, its a number between 0 and 1; 0.95 is the 95% confidence interval -=
 or 5% significance level
