Using the interpretation of a confidence interval, it is found that approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

A x% confidence interval means that we are x% confident that the population mean is in the interval.

Out of a large number of intervals, approximately x% will contain the value of the unknown parameter.

In this problem:

95% confidence interval.
1000 samples.

0.95 x 1000 = 950

Hence, approximately 950 of those confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter.
