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 it?
0.09



0.11



0.36



0.44

Probability of oil = 0.45

Probability kit is right = 0.80

 probability of oil = 0.80 * 0.45 = 0.36

HEYA!!!!!

So, Probability of oil= .45

Probability of that kit is right= .8

Probability that land has oil=
.45 \times .8 = .36
So C) is the correct answer

Hope it helps you......

Accrotime is a manufacturer of quartz crystal watches. Accrotime researchers have shown that the watches have an average life of
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a

   P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  

b

    x =  19.78 \  months

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The mean is   \mu  =  26 \  months

 The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  4 \  months

 Generally 2 year is  equal to  24 months

Generally the percentage of total production will the company expect to replace is mathematically represented as

      P(X <  24 )=  P(\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma} <  \frac{24 - 26}{4}  )

Generally  \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } =Z (The  \ standardized \  value  \  of  \  X )

     P(X <  24 )=  P(Z <  -0.8  )

Generally from the z-table  

       P(Z <  -0.8) =  0.21186

So

       P(X <  24 )=  0.21186

Converting to percentage

      P(X <  24 )=  0.21186  * 100

=>    P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  

Generally the duration that should be the guarantee period if  Accrotime does not want to make refunds on more than 6% is mathematically evaluated as

    P(X <  x) =  P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma}  < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06

=> P(X <  x) =  P(Z < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06

From the normal distribution table the z-score for  0.06 at the lower tail  is

       z = -1.555

So

    \frac{x - 26}{4} = -1.555

=> x =  19.78 \  months

There are 75 people in a room. Of these people, 2/5 are from Germany. If 4/9 of the people who are not from Germany are from Fra
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

25 people are not from Germany or France.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You first want find out what is the number of people from Germany.

So you would find...

2/5 of 75

or

2/5*75= 30 people from Germany

2. Next you want to to find out the number of people from France.

So you would do the following...

75-30=45 (Subtract the number of people from Germany from 75 so you can get the total number of people from France and other countries)

4/9 of 45 to find the number of people from France.

4/9 *45= 20

3. Lastly you need to find the people who are from neither of the countries listed above.

Add 30+20= 50

Then subtract that number from 75.

75-50= 25 people who are from neither France or Germany.

Voila! This is your answer. Hope this helps! :)

Find the 89th term of 25,35,45
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The 89th term would be 895.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pattern of adding 10 each time. Notice that the 5 at the end doesn't change and that the first number continues (i.e. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). All you have to do is add an 89 in front of the 5 and that is your answer, 895.
