Abstract:
We report the ground state masses of hadrons containing at least one charm and one bottom quark using lattice quantum chromodynamics. These include mesons with spin (J) and parity (P), (J^{P}): 0^{-}, 1^{-}, 1^{+}, and 0^{+} and the spin 1/2 and 3/2 baryons. Among these hadrons, only the ground state of 0^{-} is known experimentally, and therefore our predictions provide important information for the experimental discovery of all other hadrons with these quark contents.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
