Zero is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point. It is also a significant digit when it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits.
True
That is correct.
No, a leading zero is NEVER a significant digit.
If I understand this convoluted sentence correctly, then think it is true.
All digits are significant in this case. Any digit after a decimal point is a significant digit.
The thousands digit is 4 left of the decimal point and the ones digit is the digit to the left of the decimal point. In a whole number the decimal point is not written and can be considered as "hiding" after the last digit - the ones digit.
All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.

All of the digits are significant:Any digit after the decimal point is significant.A zero is significant if it comes between other significant digits.
