I need this except in an excel/Google sheet. Took me an hour or so to compute confidence intervals of a standard deviation last week (without knowing previously how it’s supposed to be done, I usually don’t touch stats), I assume this would easily do the job in 5 mins?

Well, that falls in the category of "yes it would go fast but no, I'm not sure you'd want to trust it."

LLMs aren't great at answering questions that involve precise math. What you might do instead is ask Marvin (or ChatGPT, or your LLM of choice) to write the source code you need to compute the CI, and then execute that directly if you accept it.

chatGPT was recently plugged in to alpha wolfram. You can ask it to use it when doing math
