Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Make it simpler: -6 + 4
-6 + 4 = -2

Why:

When you subtract a negative, it automatically becomes a positive. That's why when we were making it simpler above, we canceled out the two minus signs (subtractions sign and negative sign) to make a positive 4. That's why we added a positive instead of subtracting a negative.
A negative plus a positive will get bigger. That's why -6 + 4 = -2. The -2 is larger than -6 when you look at it on a number line. It's closer to 0 and the positives.

Andreas93 [3]

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:
