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 %.

: Write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form given the information below. Slope=-2 Point=(1,-1)
natulia [17]

Answer: y+1=-2(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}). Since we know the coordinate and slope, we can directly plug them in.

y-(-1)=-2(x-1)

y+1=-2(x-1)

A cylinder has a radius of 40 ft and a height of 17 ft.
dusya [7]
So the formula is 2pi(r)(h)+2(pi)(r^2)

2(3.14)(40)(17)+2(pi)(40^2)
so then multiply and add it up and you get

about 14,325 1/3 or 14,325.34

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. Include your work in your final answer. Type
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1+3)/(2+1) = 4/3

y - 1 = 4/3(x - 2)

y - 1 = 4/3x - 8/3

y - 3/3 = 4/3x - 8/3

y = 4/3x - 5/3

3(y = 4/3x - 5/3)

3y = 4x - 5

-4x + 3y = -5

4x - 3y = 5

Can someone help me with this question? <br> (2,5) and (10,3) What is the slope and the y-intercept
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

slope is -1/4

y intercept is 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is (3-5)/(10-2) = -2/8 = -1/4 (using the slope formula)

the y intercept we can set up an equation, y= mx + b

we already know m, which is -1/4 (the slope), and to find b, we could just plug in one of the points to get

5 = (-1/4)*2+b

solve the equation

b = 11/2
