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

A management company opens a large apartment complex in anticipation of growth in the community. The company compiles statistics
bezimeni [28]
The equation is given to us in slope intercept form. -34.85 is the slope and the y-intercept is 938.

Therefore, we can say:
The rate of change for the line of best fit is -34.85 which represents the decrease in number of available apartments per week since the complex opened.
The y-intercept is 938 which represents the number of apartments when it first opened.

Recall the chapter example which described the fact that the mean IQ in large, diverse populations is 100 and the standard devia
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 99% confidence level for this sample is ±2.23.

None of the given figures is close to the answer:

E. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

margin of error (ME) around the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic of the 99% confidence level (2.576)
  • s is the population IQ standard deviation (15)
  • N is the sample size (300)

Using these numbers we get:

ME=\frac{2.576*15}{\sqrt{300} }  ≈ 2.23
