After 200 feet of drilling on the first well, a soil test is taken. The probabilities of finding the particular type of soil ide

ntified by the test are as follows.
P(soil | high-quality oil) = 0.20 P(soil | medium-quality oil) =0.80 P(soil | no oil) = 0.20
How should the firm interpret the soil test? What are the revised probabilities?
Events P(Ai) P(S | Ai) P(Ai∩S) P(AiS)

The firm can interpret the soil test by using Bayes’ Theorem to see what the posterior probabilities of seeing different of oil as wlel as no oil are. By using this, you can tell that it’s more likely that they are going to find medium quality oil.

P(E1soil)= .5*.2=.1

P(E2 soil)=.2*.8=.16

P(E3soil)=.3*.2=.06

P(soil)=.1+.16+.06=.32

P(E1|soil)=.1/.32=.3125

P(E2|soil)=.16/.32=.5

P(E3|soil)=.06/.32=.1875

P(Oil)=P(medium quality oil high quality oil)=.3125+.5=.81257

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)

Suppose you flip 3 quarters, one at a time. What is the probability that you will
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of flipping a quarter is:

S = {H and T}

The probability of both outcomes is same, i.e. P (H) = P (T) = 0.50.

It is provided that three quarters are flipped one at a time.

The outcomes of all the three quarters are independent of each other.

Compute the probability of the combination {H, T and H} as follows:

P(\text{H},\text{T and H}) = P(\text{H})\times P(\text{T})\times P(\text{H})

                        =0.50\times 0.50\times 0.50\\=0.125

Thus, the probability of the combination {H, T and H} is 0.125.

3(x^2+4x)+4(y^2-2y)=32
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

3x^2 + 12x + 4y^2 - 8y = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x^2+4x)+4(y^2-2y)=32

At first we have to break the parenthesis to get the variables in normal position. To break those, we have to multiply each with the help of algebraic expression:

or, (3*x^2) + (3 × 4x) + (4 × y^2) - (4 × 2y) = 32

or, 3x^2 + 12x + 4y^2 - 8y = 32

Since the equation does not have anything to add or deduct, therefore, it is the answer.
