A lie-detector works correctly with 80% probability when the person is lying, and with 90% probability when the person is not. A

ssume that in a given court, typically 70% of the people who have to be tested with the lie-detector do not say the truth. On the long run, which percentage of time does the lie detector make a mistake?

Answer:

the time percentage is 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the time percenatge in the case when the detector lie and done with the mistake is as follows:

L denotes the event  in which a person is lying.

NL denotes the event in which a person is not lying.

C denotes the event in which that lie detector works correctly

NC denotes the event in which  lie detector is not working correctly

Now

P(C|L) =0.8

And,

P(NC|L) is

=1 - .8

= 0.2

P(C|NL) =0.9

P(NC|NL) is

= 1 -.9

=.1

P(L) = 0.7

P(NL) is

= 1 - .7

= .3

Now

P(NC) =P(NC|L) × P(L) + P(NC|NL) × P(NL)

=. 2 × .7 + .1 ×.3

=. 14+.03

= 0.17

Hence, the time percentage is 17%

Help? Solve the system of equations.<br><br> y = 3x<br> y = x2 + 3x – 16<br> solutions: ( );( )
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

(- 4, - 12 ) , (4, 12 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 3x → (1)

y = x² + 3x - 16 → (2)

Substitute y = x² + 3x - 16 into (1)

x² + 3x - 16 = 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x² - 16 = 0 ( add 16 to both sides )

x² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{16} = ± 4

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y

x = - 4 : y = 3 × - 4 = - 12 ⇒ (- 4, - 12 )

x = 4 : y = 3 × 4 = 12 ⇒ (4, 12 )

The following is the converse of a conditional statement. If it is not April 17th, then it is not Matt's birthday. What is the i
user100 [1]
<span>The original statement would remove the two "not" values from the converse, giving "If it is April 17th, then it is Matt's birthday." Similarly, to find the inverse of the original conditional, simply flip the two statements. As such, the inverse would read "If it is Matt's birthday, then it is April 17th."</span>

Tresset [83]
Stop copying the question, it's confusing

so 100 cookies and 20 brownies
what is the greatest number you can divide them both by?

find the GCF
factor them
100=2*2*5*5
20=2*2*5
so the GCF is the common group to both or 2*2*5 or 20

100/20=5
20/20=1

there are 20 groups, each wit 5 cookies and 1 brownie
