 The general formula for a confidence interval is $point~estimate~±~z^*\times~SE$. Where $z^*$ corresponds to the z-score for the desired value of $\alpha$.

 (a) False. See the answer to exercise 5.8 above. With $\alpha = 0.01$, we can consult the 99% confidence interval. It includes 50% but also goes lower. A null hypothesis of $p=0.50$ would not be rejected at this level.
