Most states in the u.s. ban the use of polygraph ("lie-detector") in their justice systems. false positives (where an individual

fails even though he or she is telling the truth) are relatively common and make up about 15% of all test results. (a) if 8 random people take a polygraph test, what is the probability that none of the results are false positive?

The problem states that 15% of the result are false positive, but it asks about for results that are not false positive, so we should focus on 85% or .85 to express it as a probability value. Then the problem ask about 8 random people taking the test, since it is not mentioned that the results of the test are connected in some way we can assume that they are independent. In that case we can solve it by .85^8, which is .27. The result is 27% of probability

Which of the following was not a characteristic of the 2010 Haiti earthquake?
Margaret [11]

Both C and D answers show uncorrect statements about the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Answer C states that the quake registered at 7.8 on the Richter scale, but that's not true. The earthquake occurred inland on January 12, 2010, approximately 15 km southwest of Port-au-Prince and at a depth of 10 km at 16:53 local time. It recorded 7.0 on the Richter scale.

Answer D affirms that the death toll was less than 1,000, but this is also incorrect. The effects caused on this country were devastating. The bodies recovered on January 25 exceeded 150,000, calculating that the death toll would exceed 200,000. The final data of those affected were released by Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive on the first anniversary of the earthquake, the January 12, 2011, stating that 316,000 people died in the earthquake, 350,000 more were injured, and more than 1.5 million people were left homeless.
