The answer to this depends on what sources you are using, but some sources state that people identify lies only 55% of the time!

That's very little, considering that 50% is the chance level - this number would be the one used if we could never really use our intuition to guess correctly. For example if we guessed that every second person randomly lies that would give us the "chance level" of 50 %. (if exactly half of the people lied).

And in real life, we can tell 55% of the time if people are lying - this means we are slightly better than chance. 

We can conclude from this that we should never trust our intuition about whether people lie or not!

Answer: Luxembourg

Explanation:

Luxembourg is a landlocked country in Western Europe with France to the south, Belgium to the west and Germany to the east. The country is second wealthiest country after Qatar, and one of the smallest in the world. Castles and churches dot its forests and rolling hills.

Luxembourg has fallen under the rule of many states and kingdoms since its emergence in the 10th century, but has always remained a distinct political unit. Luxembourg is the wealthiest country in the European Union, per capita, and its citizens enjoy a high standard of living. Luxembourg is a major center for large private banking, and its finance sector is the biggest contributor to its economy. In the 20th century Luxembourg became a founding member of several international economic organizations, including the European Economic Community, an iteration of which was eventually absorbed into the European Union.

For the second year in a row, Luxembourg is seen as the No. 1 country in the Open for Business subranking. It also held the position in 2016. The small Western European country is viewed as the No. 2 country for having a favorable tax environment and finishes in the top quarter in terms of transparent government practices and corruption. The World Bank scores the country No. 1 overall for allowing trade across borders, and ranks it highly for dealing with construction permits.

Five pulse rates are randomly selected from a set of measurements. The five pulse rates have a mean of 86.0 beats per minute. Fo
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

a) The fifth pulse rate = 71

b) As shown in this question, (n-1) variables can be assigned freely, but last one has to now be determined, just like I did with the problem in (a).

Explanation:

Mean/average = (Σx)/N

The average is the sum of variables divided by the number of variables

x = each variable

N = number of variables = 5

Mean = 86

Let the unknown pulse rate be y

86 = (94 + 91 + 85 + 89 + y)/5

y = 430 - (94 + 91 + 85 + 89) = 71

b) As shown in this question, (n-1) variables can be assigned freely, but last one has to now be determined, just like I did with the problem in (a).
