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%

Please help me <br>find f(x+h)​
Kay [80]

Answer:

f(x) = -2x+5

f(x+h) = -2x -2h +5

g(x) = -4x-2

g(x+h) = -4x -4h -2

h(x) = 4x^2+1

h(x+h) = 4(x+h)^2 +1 = 4x^2 +8xh + 4h^2 +1

Q(x) = -3x^2 +4

Q(x+h) = -3(x+h)^2 +4 = -3x^2 -3h^2 -6xh + 4
