The confidence interval for a (1−α)% confidence level is given by

(θ0Zα/2 σ/√n, θ0+Zα/2 σ/√n)

θ0 is the measured statistic, Zα/2 is the cutoff/critical value, and σ/√n is the standard error. σ is the population standard deviation (if known) or can be estimated by a sample standard deviation. n is the sample size. The cutoff value depends on the test you wish to use, and θ0 depends on the statistic you wish to estimate.
