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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf Formula: \\\\\sin 2 \theta    =  2 \sin \theta  \cos \theta


\text {\sf \Large Solution :}

\cos 2 \theta +\dfrac{\sin \theta\cdot \cos \theta  }{\sin 2 \theta }  = \\\\\ \cos 2 \theta +\dfrac{\sin \theta\cdot \cos \theta}{2\sin \theta\cdot \cos \theta}  =\boxed{\cos 2 \theta +\dfrac{1}{2} }

I need help thank you
Juliette [100K]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The key and the most critical step is to draw the line first. Don't do anything else before that.

(2,-8) (-2,-8)

What you find out is that the y value is always - 8.

So the line has no slope and any x value

y = 0*x + b

y = - 8 is the equation of the line.

How to convert 4.5 into a decimal
zepelin [54]

Answer:

do you mean a fraction? if so..

Step-by-step explanation:

Every number in decimal form, in which either decimals terminate or certain numbers after decimal point continue to repeat endlessly, can be written as a fraction. As the given number 4.5 terminates after first deciimal it can be written as fraction. Here we have 4.5=4510= 9/2

which as a fraction means 4 and because you have 1 left over from the 9 its 4 1/2 or 4.5 :)
