Answer:

Jason Inherit a land with a 45% chance of having oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

 The probability of the land having oil is = P ( O) = 45 /100

The probability of the land having oil is= Q(O ) =55/100

The machine has an accuracy of 80%. This suggests that 8 out of 10 times the machine will give a wrong reading.

The probability of the correct reading is=  P(M)=80/100

The probability of the incorrect reading is=Q(M)=20/100

The case when the machine predicts there is no oil and there is indeed oil can be calculated:Probability=Probability of oil present  ×  probability of the incorrect reading

Probability=P(O) x Q(M)

Probability=45/100 x 20/100

Probability=9/100

The probability of the test predicting no oil in land and the land has oil is  0.09 or 9%

Write the next whole number after 6748nine in the base-nine system.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6748_9 = 6 *(9^3) + 7 * 9^2 + 4 * 9^1 + 8 * 9 ^ 0 = 4994_{10}

Hence, on base 10, the next whole number is 4995 and if we convert back to base 9, we will have

6* 9^3 + 7*9^2 + 5*9*1 = 4374 + 576+45 = 4995_{10}

Therefore, the number on base 9 will be 6750

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Third sequence (7, 2, 1, -4, -10)

In the first sequence, -4 has to be in front of -10 because it is larger.

In the second sequence, 7 goes in the beginning, with 2 then 1 following, with -4 behind and -10 behind -4.

In the third option, 7 must be in the front, with 2, 1, then -4, then -10 following.

The answer = third sequence.

Hope it helped!
