 Solution

Let $z={\Phi }^{-1}(1-\alpha /2)$, where $\Phi$ is the standard normal distribution's cumulative distribution function. Statistical consistency and Slutsky's theorem allow replacement of $I_1(\theta )$ by $I_1(\hat{\theta })$:Thus the probability that this standardized estimation error lies between $-z$ and $z$ tends to $1-\alpha$. Rearranging gives the Wald confidence intervalThe coverage probability is approximate, with limiting value $1-\alpha$; it is a repeated-sampling statement about the random confidence interval.
