Friction Concepts Homework: True or False Answers

Homework Statement

A mass M is initially at rest on a horizontal surface, μs=0.30 and μk=0.20 . A horizontal string then pulls M with a tension T. N is the normal component of the contact force. All quantities below are magnitudes.
True or False:
1) If M does not accelerate, then T ≤ μsN
2) M will accelerate if T exceeds μkN
3) M will accelerate if T exceed μsN
4) The value of N equals Mg
5) T equals μkN if M remains at rest.
6) The total force on M is μkN if M remains at rest.

2. The attempt at a solution
From what i have learned i thought the answer should be:
1) True (to gain acceleration, first F must exceed μsN)
2) True (it takes µkN, force to just move M, and anything over that will accelerate M)
3) True
4) True (mg = N, the normal force)
5) False (T is less than or equal to µsN for M not to move)
6) False (The total force on M is equal to or less than µsN for no movement)
The in incorrect but i am not sure as to why they are wrong.

The correct answers are actually
1) True
2) False (It must exceed ukN not just uks)
3) True
4) True
5) False
6) False

The correct answers are actually
2) False (It must exceed ukN not just uks)

The actual reason (which you may have meant to say) is it must exceed u$_{s}$N, not u$_{k}$N
