  c. The unknown parameter is presumed to lie at the center of the interval that point estimate and margin of error create.
  d. The margin of error only takes sampling error into account, ignoring all other potential sources of error, such as bias in questions, selection bias, or miscalculations.
  e. None of these.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
