An article on polygraph testing of FBI agents indicated that the probability of a false-positive (a trustworthy person who nonetheless fails the test) is 0.15. Let x be the number of trustworthy FBI agents tested until someone fails the test. What is the probability that the first false-positive will occur when the third person is tested

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Probability = 0.108375[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the probability of false positive be represented with p

[tex]p = 0.15[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability the first occurrence of p was at the third person

We have that:

[tex]p = 0.15[/tex]

The  probability that a trustworthy person do not fail the test (q) is:

[tex]q = 1 - p[/tex]

[tex]q = 1 - 0.15[/tex]

[tex]q = 0.85[/tex]

The required probability implies that:

The first person did not fail: i.e. 0.85

The second person did not fail: i.e. 0.85

The third person failed: i.e. 0.15

This is then calculated as:

[tex]Probability = 0.85 * 0.85 * 0.15[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.108375[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the first false positive occurred at the third person is 0.108375

What is 1/2x1/2 in fractions?

Answers

I think it is 2/4 but I might be wrong

The requried multiplication of 1/2 and 1/2 is equal to 1/4. This means that if you divide a whole into 4 equal parts and then take one of those parts.

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

The multiplication of 1/2 and 1/2 is calculated as follows:

(1/2) * (1/2) = (1 * 1) / (2 * 2)
                = 1 / 4

Therefore, the multiplication of 1/2 and 1/2 is equal to 1/4. This means that if you divide a whole into 4 equal parts and then take one of those parts, it's equivalent to multiplying 1/2 by 1/2.

Consider the experiment of rolling two standard (six-sided) dice and taking their sum. Assume that each die lands on each of its faces equally often. We consider the outcomes of this experiment to be the ordered pairs of numbers on the dice, and the events of interest to be the different sums. (a) How many outcomes does this experiment have

Answers

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

2 standard six sided dice are rolled :

Die 1 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Die 2 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Outcome = ordered pair of Number on the two dice

Event = different sum of the ordered pair of numbers.

The number of outcomes in the experiment = the sample space =) number of Faces)^number of dies

= 6^2

= 36 different outcomes

I'm not quite 'out there in the real world' but whenever I'm limited on money and whatnot, instead of trying to go ahead and add it all up by the exact price I'll round it up to the nearest dollar.

A person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen he sells it at Rs 80 a pair find the gain percent solve step by step​

Answers

Given,

CP of cosmetics = Rs 360 per dozen

SP of a pair of cosmetics = Rs 80

We need to find the profit percentage.

Solution,

We know that,

1 dozen = 12 items

CP of 1 cosmetic = 360/12 = Rs 30

SP of 1 cosmetic = 80/2 = Rs 40

Profit = SP-CP

= Rs 40 - Rs 30

= Rs 10

Profit percentage is given by :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{profit}{CP}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{10}{30}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%[/tex]

So, the profit percentage is 33.34%.

in #7.

Answers

Answer:

8. Arithmetic Progression

9. [tex]f(9) = 300[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\{(1,55)\ (2, 45)\ (3, 35)\ (4, 25)\}[/tex]

Solving (8): Arithmetic or Geometric

We start by checking if it is arithmetic by checking for common difference (d).

[tex]d = y_2 - y_1 = y_3 - y_2 = y_4 - y_3[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]d = 45 - 55 = 35 - 45 = 25 - 35[/tex]

[tex]d = -10 = -10 = -10[/tex]

[tex]d=-10[/tex]

Because the common difference is equal, then it is an arithmetic progression

Solving (8):

[tex]f(n) = f(1) + f(n-1)[/tex]

To find f(9), we substitute 9 for n

[tex]f(9) = f(1) + f(9-1)[/tex]

[tex]f(9) = f(1) + f(8)[/tex]

We need to solve for f(8); substitute 8 for n

[tex]f(8) = f(1) + f(8 - 1)[/tex]

[tex]f(8) = f(1) + f(7)[/tex]

We need to solve for f(7); substitute 7 for n

[tex]f(7) = f(1) + f(7 - 1)[/tex]

[tex]f(7) = f(1) + f(6)[/tex]

We need to solve for f(6); substitute 6 for n

[tex]f(6) = f(1) + f(6 - 1)[/tex]

[tex]f(6) = f(1) + f(5)[/tex]

We need to solve for f(5); substitute 6 for n

[tex]f(5) = f(1) + f(5 - 1)[/tex]

[tex]f(5) = f(1) + f(4)[/tex]

From the function, f(4) = 25 and f(1) = 55.

So:

[tex]f(5)=55 + 25[/tex]

[tex]f(5)=80[/tex]

[tex]f(6) = f(1) + f(5)[/tex]

[tex]f(6) = 55 + 80[/tex]

[tex]f(6) = 135[/tex]

[tex]f(7) = f(1) + f(6)[/tex]

[tex]f(7) = 55 + 135[/tex]

[tex]f(7) = 190[/tex]

[tex]f(8) = f(1) + f(7)[/tex]

[tex]f(8) = 55 + 190[/tex]

[tex]f(8) = 245[/tex]

[tex]f(9) = f(1) + f(8)[/tex]

[tex]f(9) = 55 + 245[/tex]

[tex]f(9) = 300[/tex]

Wilma is tiling her bathroom with tiles that measure 1 foot along each side. The bathroom is 15 feet long and 10 feet wide. She can lay 30 tiles per hour. Which of the following can be used to find the total number of hours it will take Wilma to cover the floor with tiles?

Answers

Answer:

(15 * 10) / 30 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each tile is 1 foot on each side this means that each tile will cover 1 square foot (1ft * 1ft = 1sq. ft.). We would now need to find the square footage of the bathroom by multiplying the bathroom length by its width. Then we can divide that square footage by 30 tiles per hour to find out how long it will take to cover the floor with tiles.

(15 * 10) / 30 = x

150 / 30 = x

5 hours = x

Finally, we can see that at a pace of 30 tiles per hour, Wilma will be able to finish tiling her bathroom in 5 hours.

Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to y = 1/4 and passes through (-6-9)?
OA. x= -9
OB. x=-6
Oc. y=9
OD. y= -4

Answers

Answer:

B. x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with the equation, y = ¼, is a horizontal line. Therefore, the line that is perpendicular to it would be a vertical line, which can be represented by the equation, x = a. Where, a is the x-value or the point where the vertical line intersects the x-axis. This x-coordinate remains the same for every point on the vertical line.

Thus, since the perpendicular line passes through (-6, -9), therefore, the value of a = -6.

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line would be:

x = -6
