How do we use confidence intervals when we are trying to estimate a discrete distribution?

Does the CLT and the formulae for confidence intervals still apply?

yes; CLT still applies to discrete variables. why wouldn't it? i don't know what field this is in but use confidence intervals as is standard practice. 95% normally.

are you really expecting someone on a mafia site to answer that or are you asking so we think you're smart for needing to know the answer to this kind of thing?
