A thief who is particularly knowledgeable about statistics and the legal system determines that if he commits a given heist the

probability that he is never caught is 60%. If he is arrested he will go to trial where there is a 30% chance the jury will acquit him, a 30% chance he is convicted and serves a prison sentence less than five years, and a 40% chance the sentence is more than five years.
What is the probability that the thief is not imprisoned in 5 years?

Answer:

  about 28.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional probability equation can be used:

  P(arrested | not in jail) = P(arrested & not in jail)/P(not in jail)

  = 0.24/0.84 = 2/7 ≈ 28.6%

Help what is the measure of the angle x?
Schach [20]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a right angle which is 90 degrees. Part of the angle is 30 degrees, so the other measure is 60 degrees, which is the 3x.

Make an equation.

3x = 60

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 60/3

x = 20

g If a hypothesis test with a significance level of α rejects H0: μ1=μ2 in favor of Ha: μ1≠μ2, then thecorresponding (1- α)% con
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The statement, (1- <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for (μ₁ - μ₂) does not contain zero is TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for a test is defined as follows:

<em>H</em>₀: μ₁ = μ₂ vs. <em>H</em>ₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂

It is provided that the test was rejected st the significance level <em>α</em>%.

If a decision is to made using the confidence interval the conditions are:

If the null hypothesis value is not included in the (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice versa.

In this case the null hypothesis value is:

<em>H</em>₀: μ₁ - μ₂ = 0.

If the value 0 is not included in the (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the difference between two means, then the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Thus the statement, (1- <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for (μ1- μ2) does not contain zero is TRUE.
