The board of directors of a company knows that the probability that the carbon emission from the company’s manufacturing unit is

exceeding the permissible level is 35%. A consultant is hired to use a carbon footprint calculator to test for the emission level. The accuracy of this test is said to be 85%.
What is the probability that the carbon emission from the manufacturing unit is within the permissible level, and the test predicts the same outcome?

A.) 0.2975
B.) 0.0525
C.) 0.0975
D.) 0.5525
E.) 0.6325

the company's production unit has a risk of carbon emission

the probability that the company is exceeding the permissible level is 35% =0.35

so there can only be two possibilities, either the company is exceeding the permissible level or its within the permissible level.

and the accuracy of the test that tests the emission level is 85%


so the probability that the carbon emission is within the permissible level is

1 - 0.35 = 0.65

probability that the test measures this accurately is 0.85

therefore when checking the probability that both events happen we have to multiply the 2 probabilities

the probability that carbon emission is within the permissible level and test predicts this outcome is - 0.65 x 0.85 = 0.5525


answer is D.0.5525

P(exceeding limit) = 0.35P(within limit)    = 1 - P(exceeding limit) = 0.65By conditional probability,P(within limit and test says within limit) = P(within limit) P(test says within limit | within limit) = P(within limit) (Accuracy) = (0.65)(0.85) = 0.5525<span>Therefore, D.

What is the equation of a line that contains the point (2,1) and is perpendicular to the line: y = 3x – 4?
jeka57 [31]
Y = 3x - 4.....the slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, u flip the slope and change the sign. So we will need a slope of -1/3...see how I flipped the slope of 3/1 and made it 1/3...and then changed the sign, making it -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(2,1)...x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = -1/3(2) + b
1 = -2/3 + b
1 + 2/3 = b
3/3 + 2/3 = b
5/3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 5/3

Work out the perimeter of the triangle when the sides are : 3x-5 2x 19-x
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of its three sides.

The sides of the triangle are 3x-5, 2x, and 19-x.

Calculate their sum.

3x - 5 + 2x + 19 - x

Rearrange.

3x + 2x - x + 19 - 5

Add or subtract like terms.

4x + 14

The perimeter of the triangle is 4x + 14.

Angle mIJK=180, angle mIJU = 3x-7, and angle mUJK=17x + 7 find angle mIJU
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The measure of angle IJU is 20 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that, we need to add the two angles together and set equal to 180 degrees. Then we can solve for x.

(3x - 7) + (17x + 7) = 180 ----> Combine like terms

20x = 180 -----> Divide by 20

x = 9

Now that we have this, we can stick the value into the equation and solve for IJU.

IJU = 3x - 7

IJU = 3(9) - 7

IJU = 27 - 7

IJU = 20

Is it possible to find another line that’s parallel to 3x+9y=1 and passes through (0, 1/9)
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

no it is not

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+9y=1 simplified is

9y=-3x+1

y=-1/3x+1/9

this is the exact same equation as 3x+9y=1, so you cannot find another line thats parallel to it and passes through that same point (it'll always be that point)
