Weight of baby boy , w = 7 lb 8 oz .

Weight of 5 year kid , W = 48 lb .

We know , 16 oz = 1 lb .

So , w = 7 + 0.5 = 7.5 lb .

Now , ratio is :

R=\dfrac{7.5}{48}\\\\R=\dfrac{5}{32}

Therefore , the ratio of the baby's weight to the boys weight as a fraction is

\dfrac{5}{32} .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Dalgliesh the detective fancies himself a shrewd judge of human nature. In careful tests it has been discovered that he is right
Dafna11 [192]

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
