Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Actual area = 3.2 x 5 = 16 miles

Write the explicit formula for the geometric sequence 2, 8, 32, 128
Alja [10]
The first term, a, is 2.  The common ratio, r, is 4.  Thus,

a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).

Check:  What's the first term?  Let n=1.  Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8.  Is that correct?  No.

Try this instead:

a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1).  Is this correct?    Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2?      2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2.  YES.

The desired explicit formula is   a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.

Lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. a bank conducts inter
Otrada [13]
Part A:

Given that lie <span>detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector correctly determined that a selected person is saying the truth has a probability of 0.85
Thus p = 0.85

Thus, the probability that </span>the lie detector will conclude that all 15 are telling the truth if <span>all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

</span>P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow P(15)={ ^{15}C_{15}(0.85)^{15}(0.15)^0} \\  \\ =1\times0.0874\times1=0.0874
<span>

</span>Part B:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.25
Thus p = 0.15

Thus, the probability that the lie detector will conclude that at least 1 is lying if all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow P(X\geq1)=1-P(0) \\  \\ =1-{ ^{15}C_0(0.15)^0(0.85)^{15}} \\ \\ =1-1\times1\times0.0874=1-0.0874 \\  \\ =0.9126


Part C:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The mean is given by:

\mu=npq \\  \\ =15\times0.15\times0.85 \\  \\ =1.9125


Part D:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The <span>probability that the number of truthful applicants classified as liars is greater than the mean is given by:

</span>P(X\ \textgreater \ \mu)=P(X\ \textgreater \ 1.9125) \\  \\ 1-[P(0)+P(1)]
<span>
</span>P(1)={ ^{15}C_1(0.15)^1(0.85)^{14}} \\  \\ =15\times0.15\times0.1028=0.2312<span>
</span>
