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

write the equation of the line in slope intercept form with the given conditions (slope = 3 and passes through (1,-3))
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Because we have a point and slope, we can use at the beginning the point-slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=3 , x1=1 , y=-3

y-(-3)=3(x-1)

y+3=3x-3      subtract 3 from both sides

y=3x-6    the answer in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b
