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

What is the sales tax of a $15.95 video game if the tax rate is 7%​
harina [27]

Answer:

$17.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the percent of the price

Convert 7% to fraction

= \frac{7}{100}\\\\=\frac{7}{100}\times \:15.95

Multiply

=\frac{7\times \:15.95}{100}

Multiply the factors

7\times \:15.95=111.65\\\\=\frac{111.65}{100}

Divide

\frac{111.65}{100}=1.1165\\\\=1.1165

Step 2: Add the percent off to the original price

15.95 + 1.1165\\\\= 17.0665

Therefore, the total cost including tax in the nearest cent is 17.07 dollars

2)Using the properties of similar triangles, input the values that you know the measurements of and use properties of similar tr
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Similar triangles may or may not have congruent sides lengths

<h3>How to determine the measurements of the objects</h3>

From the properties of similar triangles, the side lengths of similar triangles may or may not be congruent, but the side lengths are always proportional.

Take for instance, an equilateral triangle has a dimension of 2cm by 2cm by 2cm

The similar triangles could have the following dimensions:

  • 3cm by 3cm by 3cm
  • 4cm by 4cm by 4cm
  • 6cm by 6cm by 6cm
  • 7cm by 7cm by 7cm
  • 10cm by 10cm by 10cm

This is so because the triangles are proportional to the equilateral triangle
