Italian term or phrase: approssimati alla normale
This is from a technical text on research results.

Per alcune proporzioni sono stati calcolati i relativi intervalli di confidenza al 95% approssimati alla normale.

So far I have this but I can't figure out how to say the rest:
For some proportions the respective confidence intervals were calculated....

Any ideas how to say this?
Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
Its a long time since I studied statistics, but normal distributions never change.

as approximated by the Normal / rounded normally


Explanation:
Or "as approximated by those of the Normal (distribution)"

It's not clear exactly what they are doing but most likely they are calculating confidence intervals for the sampling distribution of a proportion. That's done by starting from the confidence intervals of a normal distribution and (if necessary) making a correction to them.

"rounded normally" keeps more options open which is usually OK since it will be clear from the context what the process is.
