Alex wants to test the reliability of “lie detector tests,” or polygraph tests. He performs a polygraph test on a random sample

of 12 individuals. If there is more than a 50% chance that the tests result in no false positives (that is, the test does not result in a true statement being recorded as a lie), Alex will conclude that the tests are reliable. If the probability of a lie detector test resulting in a false positive is 5.5%, what will Alex conclude? Use Excel to find the probability, rounding to three decimal places.

The correct statement is test is reliable and authentic as the probability of no false positives is more than 0.5

Given that

H_o:P= 0.50\\\\H_1:P>0.50

Now following calculations to be done to reach out the conclusion

There is no false positive as

= 100 - 5.5

= 94.5%

\hat P =0.945, n = 12

Now

z = \frac{\hat P - P}{\sqrt\frac{P(1-P)}{n} }\\\\=\frac{0.945-0.5}{\sqrt\frac{0.5\times0.5}{12} }  \\\\= 3.08

So

P value = P(z >3.08) = 0.0010

Therefore we can conclude that test is reliable and authentic as the probability of no false positives is more than 0.5

I want to cover the curved surface of a cylinder with orange paper. My cylinder is 14” tall. The diameter is 3.5”. I have listed
Dominik [7]
Circumference of the cylinder = 3.14 x 3.5 = 10.99 = 11 inches
 so D. 11 x 14 is correct for the first part

area of the top  =  PI x r^2 = 3.14 x 1.75^2 = 9.62 inches

top and bottom = 9.62 x 2 = 19.23 = A. 19 inches
