#' @description Confidence interval calulation for sample
#' @param x a numeric vector
#' @param sigma the standard deviation.If you know the sd value, please set it to \code{sigma}. Default is -1, which means that you didn't know the sd value.
#' @param alpha significance level
#' @return a data frame of basic statistics information
