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>

inna [77]

Answer:  A) 480

Step-by-step explanation:

x=20 substitute in the two equations

48(20)+37

24(20)+37

since the question said fewer , then you should subtract

48(20)+37 - 24(20)+37 = (960+37) - (480+37)

=923 - 443= 480

What is the quotient
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The quotient is 3x - 11 + 60/(x + 5) ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* We will use the long division to solve the problem

- The dividend is 3x² + 4x + 5

- The divisor is x + 5

- The quotient is the answer of the division

- If the divisor not a factor of a dividend, the quotient has

  a remainder

* Lets solve the problem

- At first divide the first term in the dividend by the first term in

 the divisor

∵ 3x² ÷ x = 3x

- Multiply the divisor by 3x

∴ 3x (x + 5) = 3x² + 15x

-Subtract this expression from the dividend

∴ 3x² + 4x + 5 - (3x² + 15x) = 3x² + 4x + 5 - 3x² - 15x = -11x + 5

- Divide the first term -11x in the new dividend by the first

 term x in the divisor

∴ -11x ÷ x = -11

- Multiply the divisor by -11

∴ -11(x + 5) = -11x - 55

-Subtract this expression from the new dividend

∴ -11x + 5 - (-11x - 55) = -11x + 5 + 11x + 55 = 60

∴ The quotient is 3x - 11 with remainder = 60

* The quotient is 3x - 11 + 60/(x + 5)

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 4:1. If there are 33 more boys than girls, work out how many people there are in total.
MissTica

Total number of people is 55

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given ratio between boys and girls is 4:1. Let number of girls be x, so number of boys = 33 + x

⇒ 4x + x = x + 33 + x

⇒ 5x = 33 + 2x

⇒ 3x = 33

⇒ x = 11

Step 2:

Find total number of people.

33 + 2x = 33 + 22 = 55
