P ( A ) = 0.45  - probability that the land has oil,
P ( B ) = 0.8   - probability that the test predicts it
P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) · P ( B ) = 0.45 · 0.8  = 0.36
Answer: The probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it is 36 %.

A model of a building is 8 inches tall. If the actual building is going to be 72 feet,
Fofino [41]

Answer:

\frac{1}{9}\ \frac{in}{ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the scale factor divide the corresponding dimensions of the model by the corresponding dimensions of the actual

so

\frac{8}{72}\ \frac{in}{ft}

simplify

\frac{1}{9}\ \frac{in}{ft}

That means

1 inch in the model represent 9 feet in the actual

The population of Greater Accra increased by 20% and became 900,7000. The original population of the city was:
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

the original population of the city is 7,505,833

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

new of the population of the city, Y = 9,007,000

the percentage increase of the city, = 20% = 0.2

Let the original population of the city = X

New population, Y = X  + 0.2X

                           Y = X(1 + 0.2)

                           Y = X(1.2)

                           Y = 1.2X

                           X = Y/1.2

                           X = (9,007,000) / 1.2

                           X = 7,505,833

Therefore the original population of the city is 7,505,833

Can anyone show me how I would figure this problem out
jeka57 [31]

The value of x is the number inside the parenthesis, so h(-4) gives x a value of -4.

The equation says when X is ≤ -4 use the first equation


So h(-4) = -1/2(x) -15

= -1/2(-4) -15

= 2 -15

= -13


When x = -2 (h(-2) ) use the 2nd equation:

h(-2) = 20-3x^2

=20-3(-2)^2

= 20-3(4)

=20-12

=8


Now you have -13 + 3(8)

= -13 + 24

=11


The answer should be 11
