Hola Carolina! la otra versión que te ofrecieron también es correcta, pero pienso que así queda más fluido en español. El signo + te conviene dejarlo como está, lo mismo que los %. Suerte! Virginia.

Explanation:

A confidence interval is an estimate of the range of values which would be expected by chance alone for a selected probability
level. For example, the “95 % confidence interval” is the range of values which would be expected to occur randomly nineteen
times out of twenty (or 95 % of the time). Thus, if a survey found that 50 % of the individuals in a sample of 500 were
interested in a given activity, the 95 % confidence interval for this estimate would be ±3.5 % (or between 53.5 % to 46.5 %).
This means that if this survey were conducted twenty times with the same size of sample the estimated level of interested in a
given activity would fall between 53.5 % and 46.5 % nineteen times out of twenty.
The estimated confidence interval is affected by several factors including the sample size, the type of measure taken (i.e.,
whether the measurement may assume two values such as "yes" or "no" or many values such as "household income") and the

Intervalo de confianza = Es el intervalo dentro del que se encuentra la verdadera magnitud del efecto (nunca conocida exactamente) con un grado prefijado de seguridad, suponiendo que el estudio sea válido. A menudo se habla de "intervalo de confianza al 95%" (o "límites de confianza al 95%"). Quiere decir que dentro de ese intervalo se encontraría el verdadero valor en el 95% los casos.

Me parece que la preposición "sobre" en este caso acentúa el aspecto matemático de la estadística.
