Interval estimation involves using sample data to calculate a range of values that is believed to include the value of the population parameter. Point estimation, on the other hand, involves using sample data to calculate a single value that is believed to be the best estimate of the population parameter. Hypothesis testing and statistical inference are related concepts, but do not directly involve estimating a range of values for a population parameter.
