Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. The ? level itself is never used in the formula for the confidence interval. It is simply used to help determine the critical value. 2. It can be assumed that a mean or standard deviation in a sample is an exact match to the mean or standard deviation in the population because often sample statistics are very similar, if not identical, to their corresponding population parameters. 3. A 99% confidence level would produce a confidence interval that has a greater chance than a 95% confidence level of being correct but would be wider and less precise. 4. In calculations for a confidence interval involving proportions, it is a reasonably safe bet that the z distribution can be used as long as the sample is large and contains at least five successes and at least five failures.
