Updated to incorporate Glen_B's suggestions to completely answer the original question, appropriating some of the words in Glen_B's comment, hopefully with permission
May 11, 2016 at 2:35 comment added Glen_b Good answer but this doesn't discuss the part of the question about why (0.95+1)/2 (or whatever other value ci takes); that's not really enough for a separate answer, I think, so I'll mention it here: That's simply because we want $\alpha/2$ in both tails, so we want the $1-\alpha/2$ quantile. and then see that $(1+1-\alpha)/2=1-\alpha/2$. (Robert: if you want to incorporate something along these lines into your answer please go ahead)
