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

Otrada [13]

Part A:

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

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

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


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

 $P(X\ \textgreater \ \mu)=P(X\ \textgreater \ 1.9125) \\ \\ 1-[P(0)+P(1)]$

 $P(1)={ ^{15}C_1(0.15)^1(0.85)^{14}} \\ \\ =15\times0.15\times0.1028=0.2312$
