3. A lie detector has two kinds of errors: The probability of detecting a lie when the subject is telling the truth is 0.05. The

probability of not detecting a lie when the subject is lying is 0.15. The probability a subject lies is 0.10. What is the probability a subject is telling the truth if the lie detector indicates a subject is telling the truth.

Answer:

When the machine indicates a lie, what is the probability that the suspect is really lying? If the machine does not indicate a lie, what is the probability that the suspect is really telling the truth?

My solution if the probability that a test subject is chosen at random from the 200 in fact lie = 80/(80+5)=0.94

Then when 15% of people arrested lie, the probability that the suspect is really lying is 0.15*0.94=0.141

Answer:

My solution if the probability that a test subject is chosen at random from the 200 in fact lie = 80/(80+5)=0.94

Then, when 15% of people arrested lie, the probability that the suspect is really lying is 0.15*0.94=0.141

1. Amanda tells you that because a variable is in the denominator, the equation three over x plus one over three equals five ove
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: x = 6

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

\dfrac{3}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{5}{6}

(6x)\dfrac{3}{x}+(6x)\dfrac{1}{3}=(6x)\dfrac{5}{6}  <em>multiplied by common denominator</em>

18 + 2x = 5x

<u>       -2x</u>   <u>-2x</u>

18         = 3x

<u>÷3         </u>  <u>÷3 </u>

6          =  x

Since "x" is in the denominator, the restriction is that x ≠ 0.  If the solution was x = 0, then the solution would not be valid and would be eliminated as an answer.

Remember that "x" is just an unknown value.  It is possible to add two fractions together and have their sum be a fraction.

For example: \dfrac{1}{5} + \dfrac{2}{5} = \dfrac{3}{5} could be written as \dfrac{1}{5} + \dfrac{2}{x} = \dfrac{3}{5}.  When we solve it, we will get x = 5.

Answer: Edward

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

f(x)=\dfrac{(x-1)(x+2)(x+4)}{(x+1)(x-2)(x-4)}

The denominator cannot equal zero, so:

  • x + 1 ≠ 0  → x ≠ -1
  • x - 2 ≠ 0 → x ≠ 2
  • x - 4 ≠ 0 → x ≠ 4

Those x-values are the asymptotes, which is where the function is undefined.

In the diagram below, P is circumscribed about quadrilateral ABCD. What is the value of x?
alexira [117]
We know that
In any quadrilateral where the vertices are on the circumference of a circle, the opposite angles add up to 180 degrees. 

So,
 in this problem
(x+20) + 110 = 180 \\ x+130=180 \\ x=180-130 \\ x=50degrees

therefore

the answer is
x=50degrees
