A function of data and parameter with a parameter-free law is a pivot

In usual notations, if a quantity ϕ(T,θ)\phi(T,\theta) exists, whose distribution is independent of θ\theta, then which of the following statements are correct? (1) ϕ(T,θ)\phi(T,\theta) is called a confidence interval. (2) ϕ(T,θ)\phi(T,\theta) is a pivotal quantity. (3) ϕ(T,θ)\phi(T,\theta) can be used to define (1−α)100%(1-\alpha)100\% confidence interval for θ\theta.
