A polygraph (lie detector) is an instrument used to determine if the individual is telling the truth. These tests are considered

to be 86% reliable. In other words, if an individual lies, there is a 0.86 probability that the test will detect a lie. Let there also be a 0.070 probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth. Consider the null hypothesis, "the individual is telling the truth," to answer the following questions.
a. What is the probability of Type I error? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

b. What is the probability of Type II error? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability of a Type I error in a lie detection test would be the probability that the lie detection machine incorrectly detected lie for the truth tellers. This is already given in the problem as 0.07.

Therefore,

P(Type-I) = 0.07

Therefore 0.07 is the required probability here.

b) The probability of a Type II error in a lie detection test would be the probability that the lie detection machine incorrectly detected truth for the the people who are actually liars. This is thus 1 - reliability.

P(Type-II) = 1 - Reliability = 1- 0.86 = 0.14

Therefore 0.14 is the required probability here.

Answer:

a) 0.070

b) 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the tests are 86% reliable, i.e a probability of 0.86 a lie would be detected.

Probability of error = 0.070

a) For type I error, we have:

The probability of a type I error in this lie detector is the probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth, i.e

P(type I error) = P(rejecting true null)

= 0.070

b) The probability of a Type II error this lie detectot is the probability that the test erroneously detected truth insteax of lie.

i.e = 1 - reliability

P (Type II error) = P(Failing to reject false Null)

= P(Not detecting a lie)

= 1-0.86

= 0.14

What is the the value of ∣9∣
xxTIMURxx [149]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

This symbol is an <u>absolute value</u> symbol. It means that we are looking for that number's distance from 0. There is no such thing as a negative distance; the distances are all positive, so both ∣9∣ and ∣-9∣ have a value of 9.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

How to calculate the rise and run of a slope (4,-1) and (-2,3)
astra-53 [7]
m =  \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }
m =   \frac{3 - (-1)}{-2 - 4}
m =  \frac{4}{2}

What is the 60th term of the sequence 2, -3, -8, -13?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  -293

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the arithmetic sequence is a1 = 2. The common difference is d = -3-2 = -5. The general term is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

  an = 2 -5(n -1)

The 60th term is ...

  a60 = 2 -5(60 -1) = -293

Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 7) and is perpendicular to the line x = 4.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Yes, I think the answer is y = 7. The line x = 4 runs vertical (because all of the points in that line have an x-value of 4) so any line that is perpendicular to it has to be horizontal. Any line that is horizontal is in the form y = (some number). In order for the new line to run through the point (5,7) it would have to have the same y-value as that point, which is 7. So the new line is y = 7. Hope this helps :) (P.S. try graphing them both if you need a visual.)
