  a. if a simple random sample is used, probability theory suggests that researchers can be 68 percent sure the estimates of that sample fall within one standard error of the parameter
  b. if a simple random sample is used, probability theory suggests that researchers can be 95 percent sure that estimates of that sample fall within two standard errors of the parameter
  c. if a simple random sample is used, probability theory suggests that researchers can almost positive (99+ percent) that estimates of that sample fall within three standard errors of the true value
  d. if a simple random sample is used, probability theory allows the researcher to know with certainty that they have accurate data
