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

A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds, some with 222 wings and some with 444 wings. The specimens have a total of 40
ludmilkaskok [199]

Let's assume

number of birds with 2 wings is x

number of birds with 4 wings is y

A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds

so,

x+y=2008

Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x

Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y

The specimens have a total of 4384 wings

so, we get

2x+4y=4384

we can divide both sides by 2

x+2y=2192

so, we get system of equations as

x+y=2008

x+2y=2192

we can solve for x and y

We can subtract both equations

2008-y+2y=2192

y=184

x=2008-184

x=1824

y=184,\:x=1824

so,

number of birds with 2 wings is 1824

number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer

An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled usin
kkurt [141]

Answer:

<em>t = 3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation, as a function of time, that describes the height of the object that is dropped from the bridge.

The equation is:

h (t) = 144 - 16t ^ 2

Where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet.

To know how long it takes the object to fall to the ground we do h (t) = 0 and solve for t.

So:

0 = 144 - 16t ^ 2\\\\16t ^ 2 = 144\\\\t ^ 2 = \frac{144}{16}\\\\t ^ 2 = 9\\\\t_1 = 3\\t_2 = -3

We take the positive solution.

Therefore the object takes 3 seconds to reach the ground
