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

Use the properties of geometric series to find the sum of the series. for what values of the variable does the series converge t
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

- The sum of the series is given as

7/(1 + 7z)

- The series converges for (-1/7, 1/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric series:

7 - 14z + 28z² - 56z³ + ...

The common ratio r is given as

-14z/7 or 28z²/(-14z) or -56z³/(28z²) and so on

r = -7z

The sum of the series is given as

S = a/(1 - r)

Where a is the first term in the series.

S = 7/(1 -(-7z))

= 7/(1 + 7z)

The series converges for |-7z| < 1

That is for -1/7 < z < 1/7
