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.
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.
The confidence intervals will increase. How much it will increase depends on whether the underlying probability model is additive or multiplicative.
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.
Yes, but that begs the question: how large should the sample size be?
You can compare the means of two dependent or independent samples. You can also set up confidence intervals. For independent samples you test the claim that the two means are not equal; the null hypothesis is mean1 equals mean2. The alternative hypothesis is mean1 does not equal mean2. For dependent (paired) samples you test the claim that the mean of the differences are not equal; the null hypothesis is the difference equals zero; the alternative hypothesis is the difference does not equal zero.

confidence intervals
, the desired probabilistic level at which the obtained interval will contain the population parameter.
They are related but they are NOT the same.
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.
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.

If you are a good business man then they don't.

In a study using 9 samples, and in which the population variance is unknown, the distribution that should be used to calculate confidence intervals is
There are an infinite number of confidence intervals; different disciplines and different circumstances will determine which is used. Common ones are 50% (is the event likely?), 75%, 90%, 95%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.9%, 99.99% etc.
