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

Answers

Answer 1

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%

What is mathematical distribution?

Distributions are objects that generalise the traditional idea of functions used for mathematical analysis. They are often referred to as Schwartz distributions or generalised functions. Functions with no classically defined derivatives can be distinguished using distributions.

In the theory of partial differential equations, distributions are frequently utilised because it may be simpler to prove the existence of distributional solutions (weak solutions) rather classical solutions or because there may not be any suitable classical solutions. The scores on the test are centered around 66 and vary from 43 to 85.

15. The weight of a trout varies jointly as its length and the square of its girth. One angler
caught a trout that weighed 10.5 pounds and measured 26 inches long with an 18-inch
girth. Find the weight of a trout that is 22 inches long with a 15-inch girth. (Girth is the
distance around the body of a fish.)

Answers

The weight of the trout is 6.17 pounds.

How to find the weight of the trout?

We know that the weight of a trout varies jointly as its length and the square of its girth.

If W is the weight, x is the length and y is the girth, then:

W = k*x*y^2

Where k is a constant.

We know that one trout with:

x = 26 in

y = 18in

Has a weight of 10.5, then we can write:

10.5 = k*(26)*(18)^2 = k*8,424

Solving for k we get:

10.5/8,424 = k

Then the equation is:

W = (10.5/8,424)*x*y^2

Now, our trout has:

x = 22 in

y = 15 in

Then the weight is:

W =  (10.5/8,424)*22*15^2 = 6.17

The weight of the trout is 6.17 pounds.

For a body falling freely from rest​ (disregarding air​ resistance), the distance the body falls varies directly as the square of the time. If an object is dropped from the top of a tower 192 feet high and hits the ground in 8 ​seconds, how far did it fall in the first 4 ​seconds?

Answers

The distance covered by the falling freely body from rest will be 48 feet.

What is kinematics?

The study of motion without considering the mass and the cause of the motion.

When a body falls freely from rest, the distance it travels straight changes as the square of the time (air resistance excluded). If something is dropped 192 feet from the summit of a tower, it lands on the ground in 8 seconds.

We know that the acceleration is due to gravity (g = 32 ft/s²).

d ∝ t²

d/t² = constant

Then the distance covered by the falling freely body from rest will be given as,

d / 4² = 192 / 8²

d / 16 = 192 / 64

d = 16 x 192 / 64

d = 48 feet

The distance covered by the falling freely body from rest will be 48 feet.

Mark is y years old. In five years' time, Jack will be twice as old as Mark and Daniel will be 2 years younger than Jack is now. Write an expression in y for the sum of their 3 ages now.

Answers

Answer:

5y + 3 is the sum of the three ages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y=Mark, d=Daniel j=Jack, and s=The sum

Mark is y years old. In five years jack will be twice as old as Mark

j + 5 = 2(y+5)

j + 5 = 2y + 10

j = 2y + 10 - 5

j = 2y + 5

Daniel will be two years younger than jack is now

d + 5 = j - 2

d = j - 2 - 5

d = j - 7

Replace j with (2y+5)

d = (2y+5) - 7

d = 2y - 2

Expression in terms of y for the sum of the 3 ages now

s = y + j + d

replace j and d with expressions we came up with above

s = y + (2y+5) + (2y-2)

s = y + 4y + 3

s = 5y + 3 is the sum of the three ages

LaVonne estimated 38% of 63 by rounding 38% up to 40%, rounding 63 up to 70, and then multiplying 70 by 0.4 to get 28. Is her estimate reasonable?
No, because she should have rounded 38% down to 30%.
No, because she should have rounded 63 down to 60.
Yes, because she correctly rounded 38% up to 40%.
Yes, because she correctly rounded 63 up to 70.

Answers

the correct option is the second one:

"No, because she should have rounded 63 down to 60"

In that case, her estimation would have been 24.

Is her estimate reasonable?

First, we need to understand how rounding works. When we want to round to a given digit, we need to look at the digit that its located at its right.

If it is 5 or more, we round up.If it is 4 or less, we round down.

In this case, LaVonne estimated 38% of 63, and the roundings that she did are:

38% up to 40%. This is correct, because the second digit is 8, so we round up here.

63 to 70. This is incorrect, because the second digit is 3 (smaller than 4) then here she should have round down to 60 instead of up to 70.

So what she should have gotten is:

0.4*60 = 24

That is a better estimation, were the actual value of the 38% of 63 is:

0.38*63 = 23.94

You can see that when rounding down, the estimation is much closer to the actual value.

So, the correct option is the second one:

"No, because she should have rounded 63 down to 60"

Answer:

Expression for f(x) = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 4}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\textrm{Let }f(x)\text{ represent the function}[/tex]

Step 1: Add 1 to [tex]x[/tex]  ==>   x + 1

Step 2: Take square root ==> [tex]\sqrt{x+1}[/tex]

Step 3: Subtract 4: ==>  [tex]\sqrt{x+1} - 4[/tex]

Step 4: Divide by 7 ==> [tex]\frac{\sqrt{x+1} - 4}{7}[/tex]

The expression for f(x) is [tex]\frac{\sqrt{x+1} - 4}{7}[/tex]

The domain of a function is the set of all inputs  for which the function is real and defined

[tex]\sqrt{x+1}[/tex] is real only for positive values of the square root

This means

[tex]\sqrt{x+1} \ge 0[/tex]

Squaring both sides we get

[tex]x + 1 \ge 0[/tex]

Subtracting 1 from both sides we get

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

This is the lower limit for [tex]x.[/tex] There is no upper limit

The domain of[tex]f(x)[/tex] is therefore

[tex]x \ge -1[/tex]

In interval notation it is expressed as

Note the square bracket on the left and parenthesis on the right. This notation means that -1 is part of the domain but [tex]\infty[/tex]  is not included since at [tex]\infty[/tex]  the function is not defined

What are Similar Triangles?

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion .

To determine which congruence statements are correct, we need to identify the corresponding sides and angles of the triangles.

The corresponding sides and angles are those that are in the same position in each triangle.

Using this information, we can check each statement:

A. ∠N = ∠I: This statement is true because ∠N and ∠I are corresponding angles in the congruent triangles.

B. GH = LM: This statement is true because GH and LM are corresponding sides in the congruent triangles.

C. ∠M= ∠H: This statement is true because ∠M and ∠H are corresponding angles in the congruent triangles.

D. IG = LM: This statement is false because IG and LM are not corresponding sides in the congruent triangles.

E. IH = NM: This statement is false because IH and NM are not corresponding sides in the congruent triangles.

F. ∠L = ∠I: This statement is false because ∠L and ∠I are not corresponding angles in the congruent triangles.

How am I able to find the 14th term of an arithmetic sequence given a4=14 and a10=16

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a_{14}=\dfrac{52}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of an arithmetic sequence:

[tex]\boxed{a_n=a+(n-1)d}[/tex]

where:

[tex]a_n[/tex] is the nth term.a is the first term.d is the common difference between terms.

Given terms of an arithmetic sequence:

[tex]a_4=14[/tex][tex]a_{10}=16[/tex]

Substitute the values into the general formula to create two equations:

[tex]\sf\underline{Equation \:1}\\\begin{aligned}a_4 & = 14\\\implies a+(4-1)d & = 14\\a + 3d & = 14\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\sf\underline{Equation \:2}\\\begin{aligned}a_{10} & = 16\\\implies a+(10-1)d & = 16\\a + 9d & = 16\end{aligned}[/tex]

Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate a:

[tex]\begin{array}{l r l}& a+9d & = 16\\- & a+3d & = 14\\\cline{2-3}&6d & = \:\:2\end{array}[/tex]

Solve for d:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies 6d & = 2\\\dfrac{6d}{6} & = \dfrac{2}{6}\\d & = \dfrac{1}{3} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute the found value of d into one of the equations and solve for a:

[tex]\begin{aligned}a + 3d & = 14\\ \implies a+3 \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)&=14\\a+1&=14\\a+1-1&=14-1\\a&=13\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute the found values of a and d into the general formula to create an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

[tex]\implies a_n=13+(n-1)\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\implies a_n=13+\dfrac{1}{3}(n-1)[/tex]

To find the 14th term, simply substitute n = 14 into the equation:

[tex]\begin{aligned}a_n & = 13+\dfrac{1}{3}(n-1)\\\implies a_{14}& = 13+\dfrac{1}{3}(14-1)\\&=13+\dfrac{1}{3}(13)\\ & = \dfrac{39}{3}+\dfrac{13}{3}\\&=\dfrac{52}{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]
