First we obtain each probability

The land has no oil

is a 45% chance that the land has oli , then the chance that the land has not oil is 55%

55% can be represented like 0.55

then the probability to the land has no oil is 0.55

The test shows that there is no oil

Kit claims to have an 80% of idicating oil, then the percent that there is no oil is 20%

20% can be represented like 0.2

the tne probability to shows that theere is no oil is 0.2

Finally

Multiply the probabilities to find the probability that say the land has no oil and the test shows that there is no oil


0.55*0.2=0.11

then irhg toption is B
