Lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. a bank conducts inter

views of job applicants with the use of the lie detector. there are 15 applicants who are interviewed.
a.assuming all 15 applicants tell the truth, what is the probability that the lie detector will conclude that all 15 are telling the truth?
b.assuming all 15 applicants tell the truth, what is the probability that the lie detector will conclude that at least one is lying?
c.what are the mean and standard deviation of the 15 applicants the lie detector concludes are lying?
d.what is the probability that the number of truthful applicants classified as liars is greater than the mean?

Part A:

Given that lie <span>detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector correctly determined that a selected person is saying the truth has a probability of 0.85
Thus p = 0.85

Thus, the probability that </span>the lie detector will conclude that all 15 are telling the truth if <span>all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

</span>P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow P(15)={ ^{15}C_{15}(0.85)^{15}(0.15)^0} \\  \\ =1\times0.0874\times1=0.0874
<span>

</span>Part B:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.25
Thus p = 0.15

Thus, the probability that the lie detector will conclude that at least 1 is lying if all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow P(X\geq1)=1-P(0) \\  \\ =1-{ ^{15}C_0(0.15)^0(0.85)^{15}} \\ \\ =1-1\times1\times0.0874=1-0.0874 \\  \\ =0.9126


Part C:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The mean is given by:

\mu=npq \\  \\ =15\times0.15\times0.85 \\  \\ =1.9125


Part D:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The <span>probability that the number of truthful applicants classified as liars is greater than the mean is given by:

</span>P(X\ \textgreater \ \mu)=P(X\ \textgreater \ 1.9125) \\  \\ 1-[P(0)+P(1)]
<span>
</span>P(1)={ ^{15}C_1(0.15)^1(0.85)^{14}} \\  \\ =15\times0.15\times0.1028=0.2312<span>
</span>

Is x^4-1 a factor of P(x)=x^5+5x^4-x-5
sasho [114]

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The other factor is (x+5), so the product is ...

  (x^4 -1)(x +5) = x^5 +5x^4 -x -5 = P(x)

(x^4 -1) is a factor of P(x).

_____

It is not a <em>primitive</em> factor, because it can be factored as ...

  x^4 -1 = (x^2 -1)(x^2 +1) = (x -1)(x +1)(x^2 +1)

The complete factorization of P(x) to real numbers is ...

  P(x) = (x -1)(x +1)(x +5)(x^2 +1)
