Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Have you ever heard the phrase "there are lies, d@mn lies and statistics"?

The only way that a statistical study be 100% confident is that it involves everyone or everything. For example, if you want to carry on a study about how many US college students drive, in order to be 100% confident of the result, you would need to interview all the college students in the country.
