With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". at a 95% confidence level. Pursuant to Rule 2:5-4(a), the State argues that the letter from Professor Feingold in defendant’s appendix concerning confidence intervals should be stricken from the record along with the portions of defendant’s brief relying on the letter. The State contends that such material is outside the record on appeal. The defense counters that Dr. Shaler alluded at trial to confidence intervals and that Dr. Feingold’s letter is simply an “illustration of the importance of confidence intervals to a fair understanding of statistical evidence.” We grant the State’s motion to strike. An appellate court, when reviewing trial errors, generally confines itself to the record. See County of Bergen v.
