The confidence interval provides more information than the hypothesis test. This is because a confidence interval not only tells us whether the null hypothesis is rejected or not but it also provides a range of values (the interval) that likely includes the true population parameter. This interval estimate gives us a measure of how precise our sample estimate is and how much uncertainty there is around it. In contrast, a hypothesis test only tells us whether the null hypothesis is rejected or not based on a certain significance level, but it does not provide information about the size or direction of the effect, or the precision of the estimate.
