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 that there is no oil?

 0.45*0.2= 0.09
so probability that there will be oil after the test= 0.09 %

Answer:

The probability that the land has oil and the test predicts that there is no oil is:

                      0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The test claims that there is 80% accuracy rate of indicating the oil.

This means that the test does not predict the correct rate is: 20%

Also, the percent chances that the land has oil is: 45%.

Let A denote the event that the land has oil.

Let B denote the event that the test predicts the wrong result.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

Hence, from the information we have:

P(A)=0.45  and    P(B)=0.20

We are asked to find:

P(B∩A)

We know that as both the events are independent.

Hence, P(B∩A)=P(A)×P(B)

Hence, P(B∩A)=0.45×0.20

⇒   P(B∩A)=0.09

       Hence, the required probability is:

                0.09

Answer:

The equation of the line is y - 3 = 2.5(x - 2) ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the slope of a line is m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} , where

  • (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line

The point-slope form of a line is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where

  • (x1, y1) is a point on the line

From the given figure

∵ The line passes through points (2, 3) and (0, -2)

∴ x1 = 2 and y1 = 3

∴ x2 = 0 and y2 = -2

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope to find it

∵ m = \frac{-2-3}{0-2}=\frac{-5}{-2}=2.5

∴ m = 2.5

→ Substitute the values of m, x1, y1 in the form of the equation above

∵ m = 2.5, x1 = 2, y1 = 3

∵ y - 3 = 2.5(x - 2)

∴ The equation of the line is y - 3 = 2.5(x - 2)
