Dalgliesh the detective fancies himself a shrewd judge of human nature. In careful tests, it has been discovered that he is righ

t 80 percent of the time about whether a suspect is lying or telling the truth. Dalgliesh says that Jones is lying. The polygraph expert, who is right 100 percent of the time, says that 40 percent of the subjects interviewed by Dagliesh are telling the truth. What is the probability that Jones is lying?

Answer:

The probability that Jones is lying is 6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will list out 2 different cases when the outcome is a lie

1.probability that Jones tells lies is = 0.6 and probability that dalgiliesh analyses it correctly is 0.8

So the probability that dagliesh correctly analyses that he is telling lies is 0.8*0.6=0.48

2.Probability that Jones tells truth is 0.4 and if dagliesh analyses it incorrectly (which has a probability of 0.2) the outcome(as analysed by dagiliesh) is a lie

So probability that dagliesh analyses Jones truth as a lie is 0.2*.0.4=0.08

Total probability of outcome being a lie is 0.48+0.08=0.56

But we need the probability of Jones actually saying a lie which is nothing but 0.48/0.56= 6/7

Answer:

0.85714

Step-by-step explanation:

Be,

T: Subject telling truth

A: Detective identifies as subject is telling the truth

P(T) = 40% = 0.4

P(A/T) = 80% = 0.8

P(A^{c} /T^{c} ) = 0.8

P(T^{c} /A^{c} ) = \frac{P(T^{c}intersectionA^{c})}{P(A^{c})}

P(T^{c} /A^{c} ) = \frac{P(A^{c} /T^{c}).P(T^{c})}{P(A^{c} /T^{c}).P(T^{c})+P(A^{c} /T).P(T)}}

P(T^{c} /A^{c} ) = \frac{0.8x0.6}{0.8x0.6 + 0.2x0.4}}

P(T^{c} /A^{c} ) = \frac{0.48}{0.48 + 0.08}} = \frac{0.48}{0.56}}=0.85714

Hope this helps

A=2b^3-1 what's the value of b if a is 13
skelet666 [1.2K]
\sf~A=2b^3-1

Plug in A = 13

\sf~13=2b^3-1

Add 1 to both sides:

\sf~14=2b^3

Divide 2 to both sides:

\sf~7=b^3

Find the cube root of both sides:

\sf~b=\sqrt[3]{7}

\sf~b\approx~1.91
