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

Which question should you expect to be answered with variable data?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable data is any kind of information gathered that can be made into a chart or graph representing what was collected. In other words, the data collected must vary.

The first, second, and third answers cannot be made into a chart/graph as it would be a singular number, and not provide varying data (which is required to produce a graph/chart).

The last answer would be correct as one can create a chart as the data collected from that question would vary. For example, five family members could be born in July, six in August, and ten in October. The variable that is "varying" would be these months.

Hope this helps!
