Dalgliesh the detective fancies himself a shrewd judge of human nature. In careful tests it has been discovered that he is right

80 percent of the time when he says that a ran­domly chosen suspect is lying. Dalgliesh says that Jones is lying. The polygraph expert, who is right 100 percent of the time, says that 40 percent of the subjects interviewed by Dalgliesh are telling the truth. What is the probability that Jones is lying?

Answer:

The probability that Jones is lying is 6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will list out 2 different cases when the outcome is a lie

1.probability that Jones tells lies is = 0.6 and probability that dalgiliesh analyses it correctly is 0.8

So the probability that dagliesh correctly analyses that he is telling lies is 0.8*0.6=0.48

2.Probability that Jones tells truth is 0.4 and if dagliesh analyses it incorrectly (which has a probability of 0.2) the outcome(as analysed by dagiliesh) is a lie

So probability that dagliesh analyses Jones truth as a lie is 0.2*.0.4=0.08

Total probability of outcome being a lie is 0.48+0.08=0.56

But we need the probability of Jones actually saying a lie which is nothing but 0.48/0.56= 6/7

Mr. Littles is building a triangular sandbox using three boards. He already has two boards that measure 9 feet and 12 feet. Sele
Bess [88]

Answer:

  • 9 feet, 15 feet, 19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em> Options are: </em></u>

  • <em>2 feet </em>
  • <em>3 feet </em>
  • <em>9 feet </em>
  • <em>15 feet </em>
  • <em>19 feet </em>
  • <em>21 feet </em>
  • <em>30 feet</em>

<em>-------------------------------------</em>

Use the triangle inequality theorem: sum of any two side must be greater than the third side by length

  • 2 feet     ⇒  no, as 2 + 9 < 12
  • 3 feet     ⇒  no, as 3 + 9 = 12
  • 9 feet     ⇒  yes
  • 15 feet    ⇒  yes
  • 19 feet    ⇒  yes
  • 21 feet    ⇒  no, as 9 + 12 = 21
  • 30 feet  ⇒  no, as 9 + 12 < 30

Is the following statement always, sometimes, or never true? “The supplement of an acute angle is an obtuse angle.” Explain your
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

An acute angle is an angle that is less than 90. Supplementary angles add up to 180.

So 180-89= 91

An obtuse angle is any angle that is greater than 90.

Here's a link to a better explanation.
