Criminal investigators use biometric matching for fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and iris recognition. When matchi

ng fingerprints, each subject is given a mean match score for how well their fingerprint matches the given fingerprint, based on different criteria. There are six criteria used to calculate the match score. The mean match score used by a particular police department is 80. If the police department finds a higher match score than this number, they consider the person a fingerprint match and a suspect in the crime. The null hypothesis is that the mean match score is 80. The alternative hypothesis is that the mean match score is greater than 80. Is the following a Type I error or a Type II error or neither? The test shows that the mean match score is more than 80 when the person does not actually have a fingerprint match. Group of answer choices Type I error Type II error

Answer:

Type I error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's remember the definition of Type I error and Type II error:

A type I error is the rejection of a true null hypothesis, this means that we would get a "false positive" with this error.

A type II error is the non rejection of a not true null hypothesis, this error would give us a "false negative".

In this problem, we are told that the mean match score to identify a suspect is 80. However, the test shows that the mean match score is more than 80 when the person doesn't have a fingerprint match (and therefore the person would not be a suspect). Therefore, this person would appear as a suspect when he/she really isn't one. This means that the test is giving a "false positive". Thus, this is a type I error.

Find the value of x when the area of a triangle is 22 in2 and has a base of 3x-1 and height of x.
Virty [35]
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0

It is impossible to create a square pyramid by rotating a shape about an axis because its base is not ________.
natta225 [31]
It is impossible because it's base is not circular. A solid of revolution is <span>obtained by rotating a </span>plane curve<span> around some </span>straight line, that is, <span>the </span>axis of revolution that lies on the same plane. The closest to a square pyramid applying this concept is by rotating a right triangle around the opposite or adjacent side (the axis), but the shape that you get is a straight circular cone.
