Select the correct answer. Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% ch

ance that the land has oil. Jason decides to test the land for oil. He buys a kit that claims to have an 80% accuracy rate of indicating oil in the soil. If the test predicts that there is no oil, what is the probability after the test that the land has oil? answer choices : a, 0.1698 , b 0.2217, c 0.5532, d 0.7660

Answer:

Option A 0.1698

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jason has a chance for getting oil as 45%

THe kit he buys show accurate result with 80% probability

Let A1- Event that the land has oil

A2 - Event that the land has no oil

B- The test gives negative result

A1 and A2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

P(A1) = 0.45 and P(A2) =0.55

Hence we can use Baye theorem

Then P(B) = P(A1B)+P(A2B)=0.45(0.20)+0.55(0,80)\\=0.09+0.0.44\\=0.53

Reqd prob =P(A1/B) =

\frac{P(A1B)}{P(B)}\\ =\frac{0.09}{0.53}\\\\=0.1698

Anne wants to fill 12 hanging baskets with compost. Each hanging basket is a hemisphere of diameter 40 cm.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to answering this question

  1. determine the volume of the 12 basket

volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)πr^3

n = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

radius = 40/2 = 20 cm

volume of one hemisphere = (2/3) x (22/7) x (20^3) = 16,761.90 cm^3

volume of the 12 baskets = 16,761.90 cm^3 x 12 = 201,142.86 cm^

2. convert the litres of compost to cm and multiply by the total bags of compost

1 litre = 1000cm

1 bag of compost = 50 x 1000 = 50,000

4 bags of compost = 50,000 x 4 = 200,000 cm

3. compare which figure is higher. the figure gotten in step 1 or 2

201,142.86 cm^3 is greater than 200,000

there is no enough compost
