For any unknown average, the probability histogram of the sample averages will be shaped like the normal curve and centered at the true average with a standard deviation equal to $SE_{ave}$.
$$ sample_{ave} \pm 2 * SE_{ave} $$
If solving for a specific interval, substitute $2$ for your $z$ value.
If solving for a specific interval, substitute $2$ for your $z$ value. As $z$ increases or the sample size decrease, this interval gets wider.
This equation should be a review:
$$ SE_{ave} = \frac{SD}{\sqrt{size\space samp}} $$
The above equation will give you an interval that you can be 95% confident that the true random will be within that point.
