Question

Transcribed Image Text:Refer to the sample data for polygraph tests shown below. If one of the test subjects is randomly selected, what is the probability that the subject is not lying? Is the
result close to the probability of 0.430 for a negative test result?
Did the Subject Actually Lie?
No (Did Not Lie)
Yes (Lied)
Positive test results
12
37
Negative test results
27
10
The probability that a randomly selected polygraph test subject was not lying is
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
Is the result close to the probability, rounded to three decimal
ces, of 0.430 for a
egative test result?
because there is
a 0.050 absolute difference between the probability of a true response and the probability of a negative test result.

Transcribed Image Text:Use the following results from a test for marijuana use, which is provided by a certain drug testing company. Among 143 subjects with positive test results, there are 23
false positive results. Among 151 negative results, there are 5 false negative results. Complete parts (a) through (c). (Hint: Construct a table.)
a. How many subjects were included in the study?
The total number of subjects in the study was
b. How many subjects did not use marijuana?
A total of
subjects did not use marijuana.
c. What is the probability that a randomly selected subject did not use marijuana?
The probability that a randomly selected subject did not use marijuana is.
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)

- Spinning a coin, unlike tossing it, may not give heads and tails equal probabilities. I spun a penny 275 times and got 122 heads. We wish to find how significant is this evidence against equal probabilities. a. What is the sample proportion of heads? Round to 3 decimal places. b. Heads do not make up half of the sample. Is this sample evidence that the probabilities of heads and tails are different? Take p to be the probability of getting heads in a spin of a penny. Which hypotheses do we want to test?

- Use the data in the following table that shows results from a polygraph (lie detector) conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts and Gordon H. Barland. In each case, it was known if the subjects lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph was correct. Use subjective probability to estimate the probability of randomly selecting a subject who did not lie and whose polygraph indicated that he or she did lie.arrow_forwardAn auditor for Health Maintenance Services of Georgia reports 40 percent of policyholders 55 years or older submit a claim during the year.
