A lie detector test is accurate 70% of the time, meaning that for 30% of the times a suspect is telling the truth, the test will conclude that the suspect is lying, and for 30% of the times a suspect is lying, the test will conclude that he or she is telling the truth. A police detective arrested a suspect who is one of only four possible perpetrators of a jewel theft. If the test result is positive (i. e., concludes that the subject is guilty), what is the probability that the arrested suspect is actually guilty

0.475

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

We are to calculate the true positive :

True POSITIVE (TP) = 70% = 0.7

False POSITIVE (CP = 30% = 0.3

True Negative = 30% = 0.3

Number arrested = 4

(1/n * TP) / [(1/n * TP) + (n-1 /n * FP)

= (1/4 * 0.7) / [(1/4 * 0.7) + (3/4 * 0.3)

= 0.175 / (0.175 + 0.225)

= 0.175 / 0.4

= 0.475

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

because if you put 1 in to the square root of x it equals 300.

2.   never

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages
