A survey of 1000 college seniors working towards an undergraduate degree was conducted. Each student was asked, “Are you planning or not planning to pursue a graduate degree?” Of the 1000 surveyed, 652 stated that they were planning to pursue a graduate degree. a) Construct and interpret a 96% confidence interval for the proportion of college seniors who are planning to pursue a graduate degree. b) Find the minimum sample size would be needed for a 90% confidence interval with the margin of error of 0.025

The figure shows three objects (X, Y and Z) that have charges , , and , respectively. The objects are held on a fixed axis positioned shown. The magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by object Y on object Z is . What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force exerted on object Y due to the other two objects? On the left, X of charge negative 4q at position negative a, at center Y of charge positive q at position zero, and on the right Z of charge negative q at position a.
