The board of directors of a company knows that the probability that carbon emissions from the company’s factory exceed the permi

ssible level is 35%. They hire a consultant who uses a carbon footprint calculator to test the emissions level. The test, which has an accuracy rate of 85%, indicates that the factory's carbon emissions are within the permissible level.
Given the test result, the probability that carbon emissions from the factory are actually within the permissible level is .

Answer:

The probability that carbon emissions from the factory are actually within the permissible level is  0.9132

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x represent when the emissions  exceed the permissible level

-let y represent when the emissions does not exceed the permissible level

-let p represent when the test indicate that the factory's carbon emissions  exceed the permissible level

-let q represent when the test indicate that the factory's carbon emissions  does not exceed the permissible level  

Probability that the the factory's carbon emissions exceed the permissible level and the test indicates that the factory's carbon emissions are not within the permissible level P(xq) =0.35*0.15= 0.0525

Probability that the factory's carbon emissions does not exceed the permissible level and the test indicates that the factory's carbon emissions are within the permissible level P(yp) = (1-.35)*0.85=0.65*0.85= 0.5525

the probability that carbon emissions from the factory are actually within the permissible level =  0.5525/(0.5525 + 0.0525) =  0.9132

The equation of a line is y=-2x+1. What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through (2,2)?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form is y=-2x+6.

The equation in standard form is 2x+y=6.

The equation in point-slope form is y-2=-2(x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines will have the same slope and different y-intercept.

Anyways the slope of y=-2x+1 is -2.

So the equation of our line we are looking for is -2.

So we know our equation is in the form y=-2x+b.

We must inf b using y=-2x+b with (x,y)=(2,2).

y=-2x  +b  with (x,y)=(2,2)

2=-2(2)+b

2=-4+b

Add 4 on both sides:

2+4=b

Simplify:

6=b

The equation is y=-2x+6.

Now it didn't say what form it wanted.

There are some forms I can give you like standard and point-slope form.

There is also general form but it is not too much different from standard form.

Standard form is ax+by=c where a,b, and c are integers if possible.

Point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

So let's go for standard form (ax+by=c) first:

y=-2x+6

add 2x on both sides:

2x+y=6

This is standard form because it is in the form

ax+by=c.

Ok we know point (2,2) is on our line and we also know we have slope,m, is -2.

Point-slope form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=-2(x-2)

What do I need to do and what are the steps
Viktor [21]
So allison spent 3/5 meaning she saved 2/5 because 3/5 + 2/5 = 5/5

change the 2/5 into decimals by 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

multiply $55 with 0.4
55 x 0.4 = 22

so she ends up saving $22
