Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance 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. What is the probability that the land has oil and the test predicts it? Show solution.

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 %.

The large square below has a side length of 8 inches, and the smaller white square inside the large square has a side length of
9966 [12]
The image is not attached with, but by reading the question it is obvious that the blue region lies inside the larger square and outside the smaller square. That is the region between the two squares is the blue region.

We know the dimensions of both squares, using which we can find the area of both squares. Subtracting the area of smaller square from larger one, we can find the area of blue square and further we can find the said probability.

Area of larger square = 8 x 8 = 64 in² 
Area of smaller square = 2 x 2 = 4 in²
Area of blue region = 64 - 4 = 60 in²

The probability that a randomly chosen point lies within the blue region = Area of blue region/Total area available

Therefore, the probability that a point chosen at random is in the blue region = 60/64 = 0.9375

Landon is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 4.3% compounded continuously. How much would Landon need to i
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$ 6,189.18

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we can deduce that we are meant to find the Principal (Initial Amount ) invested.

The formula for the Principal of a compound interest that is compounded continuously is given as:

P = A / e^rt

Where

P = Principal

A = Totally Amount after time t = $11,300

r = Interest rate = 4.3 % = 0.043

t = 14 years

P = $11,300/ e ^0.043 × 14

P = $ 6,189.18

Hence, Landon needs to invest, $ 6,189.18

Write the point slope equation of the line through (7,-2) with slope of 1/2.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

y = 0.5x - 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = 0.5, so this is the x coefficient.

y intercept = -2 - (7 x 0.5) = -5.5
