Trials in an experiment with a polygraph include 98 results that include 24 cases of wrong results and 74 cases of correct resul
ts. use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that such polygraph results are correct less than 80% of the time. identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, p-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. use the p-value method. use the normal distribution as an approximation of the binomial distribution.
<span>Answer:
Let P be the proportion of correct results of all polygraph results
H0: P ≥ 0.80
Ha: P < 0.80
Estimated p = 74 / 98 = 0.7551
Variance of proportion = p*(1-p)/n
= 0.8(0.2)/98 =0.0016327
S.D. of p is sqrt[0.001633] = 0.0404
z = ( 0.7551 - 0.8 ) / 0.0404 = -1.1112
P-value = P( z < -1.1112) = 0.1335
Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Based on the results there is no evidence that polygraph test results should be prohibited as evidence in trials.</span>
The ares of the square is 9 * 9 = 81 m^2 The area of the 4 corners together is pi * r^2 = pi * 4.5^2 = 63.6 m^2 The shaded region is 81 - 63.6 = 17.4 m^2
