A student S is suspected of cheating on exam, due to evidence E of cheating being present. Suppose that in the case of a cheatin

g student, evidence E is present with 60% percent probability, and in the case of a student that does not cheat, evidence E is present with a 0.01 percent probability. Suppose also that the proportion of students that cheat is 1 percent. Show all the steps including identification of what formulas/properties you used. Points will be deducted from answers if only the final answer is provided.
Required:
a. Determine the events, given probabilities and inferred probabilities.
b. Determine the probability that the evidence is present.
c. Determine the probability that S cheated given the evidence is present.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we think of an alphabet X to be the Event of the evidence.

Also, if Y be the Event of cheating; &

Y' be the Event of not involved in cheating

From the given information:

P(\dfrac{X}{Y}) = 60\% = 0.6

P(\dfrac{X}{Y'}) = 0.01\% = 0.0001

P(Y) = 0.01

Thus, P(Y') \ will\ be = 1 - P(Y)

P(Y') = 1 - 0.01

P(Y') = 0.99

The probability of cheating & the evidence is present is = P(YX)

P(YX) = P(\dfrac{X}{Y}) \ P(Y)

P(YX) =0.6 \times 0.01

P(YX) =0.006

The probabilities of not involved in cheating & the evidence are present is:

P(Y'X) = P(Y')  \times P(\dfrac{X}{Y'})

P(Y'X) = 0.99  \times 0.0001 \\ \\  P(Y'X) = 0.000099

(b)

The required probability that the evidence is present is:

P(YX  or Y'X) = 0.006 + 0.000099

P(YX  or Y'X) = 0.006099

(c)

The required probability that (S) cheat provided the evidence being present is:

Using Bayes Theorem

P(\dfrac{Y}{X}) = \dfrac{P(YX)}{P(Y)}

P(\dfrac{Y}{X}) = \dfrac{P(0.006)}{P(0.006099)}

P(\dfrac{Y}{X}) = 0.9838

HURRY !!
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 is correct.

Step 2.

-9.2 >= x

Subtract x from both sides.

-x - 9.2 >= 0

Add 9.2 to both sides.

-x >= 9.2

Divide both sides by -1. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality, the inequality sign changes direction.

x <= -9.2

The first error is in Step 2.

Answer:

B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2
