it mean that in repeated sampling, 95% of the intervals constructed would contain the population mean.

Explanation:

The confidence interval of 95 percent describes a set of values that can be 95 percent of the mean of the population.

when confidence interval of 95% for population turn out to be in interval between 1000 to 1200 it mean that in repeated sampling, 95% of the intervals constructed would contain the population mean.
