Answer:

APR does not tell you how long your rate is locked for. A 15-year loan may have a lower interest rate, but could have a higher APR, since the loan fees are amortized over a shorter period of time. It is not wise to compare a 30-year loan with a 15-year loan using their respective APRs.

Answer:

98.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined reliability of both components must be 98%. Given that both components must be functional and have the same reliability 'r', the minimum value of 'r' that meets the system requirements is given by:

$0.98 = r^2\\r=0.9899=98.99\%$
