Final answer:
Extract rows with interest rates less than 12%, you compare each interest rate entry to 0.12 and assign the boolean results to midIntrstIdx using the expression midIntrstIdx = (interestRates < 0.12), where interestRates is the variable containing the interest rates.
Step-by-step explanation:
To extract all the entries in the rows with interest rates less than 12%, you need to create a logical expression that compares the interest rate of each row with the value 12%.
Assuming that you have a dataset where the interest rates are stored in a variable or an array, you can use a conditional statement to identify the rows that meet this condition.
Here's how you can create this logical expression:
- Identify the variable which holds the interest rates. Let's assume this variable is called interestRates.
- Create a logical expression that compares each entry in interestRates with the value 12%.
- Use this logical expression to assign the resulting boolean array to midIntrstIdx.
The complete logical expression would be:
midIntrstIdx = (interestRates < 0.12)
This expression will give you a boolean array where each element corresponds to a row in your dataset, with true for rows where the interest rate is less than 12% and false otherwise.
