Answer: There are 5 sig figs in 1.0025

Step-by-step explanation:

With significant figures, any number other then 0 is a significant figure. The two zeros are significant because they are followed by more numbers. If the number was 1.000, there would only be one sig fig.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$0.192 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.151$

$0.192 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.192(1-0.192)}{250}}=0.233$

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$X= 48$ number of people who rent their home

$n= 250$ represent the sample size

$\hat p =\frac{48}{250}= 0.192$ represent the proportion of people who rent their home

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:
