The Confidence Interval is a particular type of measurement that estimates a population's parameter. Usually, a confidence interval correlates with a percentage. The certain percentage represents how many of the same type of sample will include the true mean. Therefore, we would be a certain percent confident that the interval contains the true mean.

Does the population mean have to fall within the confidence interval?
No. For instance, when you calculate a 95% confidence interval for a parameter this should be taken to mean that, if you were to repeat the entire procedure of sampling from the population and calculating the confidence interval many times then the collection of confidence intervals would include the given parameter 95% of the time. And sometimes the confidence intervals would not include the given parameter.
If the standard deviation is doubled what will be the effect on the confidence interval?
The confidence intervals will increase. How much it will increase depends on whether the underlying probability model is additive or multiplicative.
When comparing the 95 percent confidence and prediction intervals for a given regression analysis what is the relation between confidence and prediction interval?
Confidence interval considers the entire data series to fix the band width with mean and standard deviation considers the present data where as prediction interval is for independent value and for future values.
When the sample size is large valid confidence intervals can be established for the population mean irrespective of the shape of the underlying distribution?
Yes, but that begs the question: how large should the sample size be?
What does the term subnomial mean?
I found the word in "Better binomial confidence intervals" (J.F.Reed, J Mod App Stat MethJ. From the context, I think it is a typo or Freudian slip, as the apparent meaning was suboptimal. The comment refers to a graph showing that a Wald-estimate 95% confidence interval actually covers between 80 and 97% over most of the domain.

How do you calculate confidence interval?
Confidence intervals may be calculated for any statistics, but the most common statistics for which CI's are computed are mean, proportion and standard deviation. I have include a link, which contains a worked out example for the confidence interval of a mean.

What is Confidence Intervals of Critical Statistic?
Confidence intervals of critical statistics provide a range of values within which we can reasonably estimate the true value of a population parameter based on our sample data. They are constructed by calculating the critical statistic, such as the mean or proportion, and then determining the upper and lower bounds of the interval using the standard error and a desired level of confidence, usually 95% or 99%. The confidence interval helps us understand the uncertainty around our estimates and provides a measure of the precision of our results.
What are the different divisions of statistics?
Parametric and non-parametric statistics.Another division is descriptive and inferential statistics.Descriptive and Inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics describes a population (e.g. mean, median, variance, standard deviation, percentages). Inferential infers some information about a population (e.g. hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, ANOVA).
What is Confidence Intervals of Degree of Confidence?
, the desired probabilistic level at which the obtained interval will contain the population parameter.
How hypothesis testing and the use of confidence intervals are the same?
They are related but they are NOT the same.
What is meant by the term confidence intervals?
Confidence intervals represent a specific probability that the "true" mean of a data set falls within a given range. The given range is based off of the experimental mean.
What is the difference between class intervals and class width in statistics?
NONE
