Typically, the mean is the center and the interval extends a fixed number of standard-errors-of-the mean in wither direction. M+/- 1 SEM for example. I guess because you don't know, I should give you the simplest.

Which statistics are used to construct a confidence interval?
The parameters of the underlying distribution, plus the standard error of observation.
When population distribution is right skewed is the interval still valid?
You probably mean the confidence interval. When you construct a confidence interval it has a percentage coverage that is based on assumptions about the population distribution. If the population distribution is skewed there is reason to believe that (a) the statistics upon which the interval are based (namely the mean and standard deviation) might well be biased, and (b) the confidence interval will not accurately cover the population value as accurately or symmetrically as expected.

What happens to the confidence interval if you increase the sample size?
The confidence interval becomes smaller.
Is confidence interval and confidence limits are same thing?
no,these are not the same thing.The values at each end of the interval are called the confidence limits.

What happens to the confidence interval if you increase the confidence level?
The confidence interval becomes wider.
What Confidence interval is 0.05 alpha?
how are alpha and confidence interval related
How do i construct a 99 confidence interval?
Mean plus or minus 1.95 SEM. Mean minus 1,95 SEM to Man plus 1,95 SEM.
The width of a confidence interval is equal to twice the value of the margin of error?
No. The width of the confidence interval depends on the confidence level. The width of the confidence interval increases as the degree of confidence demanded from the statistical test increases.
What happens to the confidence interval as the mean decreases?
The confidence interval is not directly related to the mean.
What happens to the confidence interval if you increase the sample size?
The confidence interval becomes smaller.
Is a 95 percent confidence interval for a mean wider than a 99 percent confidence interval?
No, it is not. A 99% confidence interval would be wider. Best regards, NS
What is the most controllable method of increasing the precision of or narrowing the confidence interval?
Confidence intervals represent an interval that is likely, at some confidence level, to contain the true population parameter of interest. Confidence interval is always qualified by a particular confidence level, expressed as a percentage. The end points of the confidence interval can also be referred to as confidence limits.
Is confidence interval and confidence limits are same thing?
no,these are not the same thing.The values at each end of the interval are called the confidence limits.
