In a recent poll of 760 homeowners in the United States, one in five homeowners reports having a home equity loan that or she is

currently paying off. Using a confidence coefficient of 0.9, derive the interval estimate for the proportion of all homeowners in the United States that hold a home equity loan. (Keep three decimal places)

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all homeowners in the United States that hold a home equity loan is (0.176, 0.224)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 760, \pi = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{760}} = 0.176

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{760}} = 0.224

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all homeowners in the United States that hold a home equity loan is (0.176, 0.224)

List 0.5 1/5 0.35 12/25 4/5 from least to greatest
Anika [276]
One way is to make them all decimals or all fractions:

.5   .2  .35  .48  .80  are the numbers above changed to decimals.
I will make them the same length (two digit past the decimal point) to compare
.50   .20  .35  .48 and .80

Now it is easy to put them in order

.2  .35  .48   .5  and .80

Let's put them into all fractions

5/10   1/5   35/100   12/25 and 4/5

Instead of finding a common denominator let's try this:
Think of them as test scores - the person who got 1 out 5 did the worst
Next came the person who got only 35 out of 100 - they only did better than the one above (1/5)
12/25 is almost 1/2 but a little below half the questions right
5/10 is exactly half the questions right (so it is bigger than 12/25 by a little).
4/5 is the best score (and the only one who passed).
So 1/5, 35/100, 12/25, .5 and 4/5 are in order least to greatest and match the answer above in bold.

Three forces act on a hook. Determine the magnitude of the resultant of the force.
Novay_Z [31]

Use Hooke's law... (just kidding)

Break down each force vector into horizontal and vertical components.

\vec F_1=(1000\,\mathrm N)(\cos30^\circ\,\vec x+\sin30^\circ\,\vec y)\approx(866.025\,\mathrm N)\,\vec x+(500\,\mathrm N)\,\vec y

\vec F_2=(1500\,\mathrm N)(\cos160^\circ\,\vec x+\sin160^\circ\,\vec y)\approx(-1409.54\,\mathrm N)\,\vec x+(513.03\,\mathrm N)\,\vec y

\vec F_3=(750\,\mathrm N)(\cos195^\circ\,\vec x+\sin195^\circ\,\vec y)\approx(-724.444\,\mathrm N)\,\vec x+(-194.114\,\mathrm N)\,\vec y

The resultant force is the sum of these vectors,

\vec F=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^3\vec F_i\approx(-1267.96\,\mathrm N)\,\vec x+(818.916\,\mathrm N)\,\vec y

and has magnitude

|\vec F|\approx\sqrt{(-1267.96\,\mathrm N)^2+(818.916\,\mathrm N)^2}\approx1509.42\,\mathrm N

The closest answer is D.
