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)
