A crime is committed by one of two suspects, A and B. Initially, there is equal evidence against both of the suspects. After fur

ther investigation, it is determined that the guilty party has a blood type found in only 10% of the population at large. Suspect A does have this blood type; the blood type of Suspect B is unknown.
Define the following 3 events A, M and C.
A: "A is guilty" (Thus ° denotes "B is guilty')
M: "A’s blood type matches that of the guilty party"
C: "B's blood type matches that of the guilty party"
A. The police reported that suspect A is not a relative of suspect B. Is it reasonable to set P( MA)=P(C|A)=10%? Why?
B. Assume that P(MAC)=P(C|A)=10%. Given the information from the further investigation of the crime scene, what is the probability that A is the guilty party?
C. Assume that P( MA)=P(C/A)=10%. Given the information from the further investigation of the crime scene, what is the probability that B’s blood type matches that of the guilty party?

Answer:

a) MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) 10/11

c) 2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

A={A is the guilty party}

M_A = {A blood type matches that of the guilty party}

C = {B is the guilty party}

M_C = {B blood type matches that of the guilty party}

a) The chance is 10% because MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) the probability that A is the guilty party is given by P(A/M_A). Using bayes theorem:

P(A/M_A)=\frac{P(M_A/A)P(A)}{P(M_A/A)P(A)+P(M_C/C)P(C)} =\frac{1*1/2}{(1*1/2)+(1/10*1/2)} =\frac{10}{11}

c) the probability that B’s blood type matches that of the guilty party is given as P(M_C/M_A). Using LOTS Therefore:

P(M_C/M_A)=P(M_C/M_A,A)P(A/M_A)+P(M_C/M_A,A)P(C/M_A)=\frac{1}{10}*\frac{10}{11}  +1*\frac{1}{11}  =\frac{2}{11}

What is the area of a rectangular holding pond with length 8/15 mile and width 1/6 mile?
SSSSS [86.1K]

as you already know, the area of a rectangle is just length*width, so is just the product of those two.


\bf \cfrac{8}{15}\times \cfrac{1}{6}\implies \cfrac{8}{6}\times \cfrac{1}{15}\implies \cfrac{4}{3}\times \cfrac{1}{15}\implies \cfrac{4}{45}

Answer:

a) 0.4770

b) 3.9945

c) z-statistics seem a large value

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>a. Find the standard deviation of the sample proportion based on the null hypothesis</u>

Based on the null hypothesis:

p_{0}: 0.35

and the standard deviation σ = \sqrt{p_{0} *(1-p_{0}) } =\sqrt{0.35 *0.65 } ≈0.4770

<u>b. Find the z statistic</u>

z-statistic is calculated as follows:

z=\frac{X-p_{o} }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X is the proportion of employees in the survey who take advantage of the Credit Union (\frac{138}{300}=0.46)
  • p_{0} is the proportion in null hypothesis (0.35)
  • s is the standard deviation (0.4770)
  • N is the sample size (300)

putting the numbers in the formula:

z=\frac{0.46-0.35} }{\frac{0.4770}{\sqrt{300} } } = 3.9945

<u>c. Does the z statistic seem like a particularly large or small value?</u>

z-statistics seem a large value, which will cause us to reject the null hypothesis.
