Aldrich ames is a convicted traitor who leaked american secrets to a foreign power. yet ames took routine lie detector tests and each time passed them. how can this be done? recognizing control questions, employing unusual breathing patterns, biting one's tongue at the right time, pressing one's toes hard to the floor, and counting backwards by 7 are countermeasures that are difficult to detect but can change the results of a polygraph examination†. in fact, it is reported in professor ford's book that after only 20 minutes of instruction by "buzz" fay (a prison inmate), 85% of those trained were able to pass the polygraph examination even when guilty of a crime. suppose that a random sample of eleven students (in a psychology laboratory) are told a "secret" and then given instructions on how to pass the polygraph examination without revealing their knowledge of the secret. what are the following probabilities?
a)- all the students are able to pass thepolygraph examination?
b)-more than half the students areable to pass polygraph examination?
c)-no more than four of thestudents are able to pass the polygraph examination?
d)-all the students fail the polygraphexamination?

the answer is  

a.

28 ft2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to find the same variables -3n - 5n so this would be -3n +(-5n) which equals -9n

step-by-step explanation:

the distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √   ((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2)

d = √ (-11-6)2+(4-3)2

d = √ )2+(1)2)

d = √ (289+1)

d = √ 290

the distance between the points is 17.0293863659264

the midpoint of two points is given by the formula

midpoint= ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

find the x value of the midpoint

xm=(x1+x2)/2

xm=(6+-11)/2=-2.5

find the y value of the midpoint

ym=(y1+y2)/2

ym=(3+4)/2=3.5

the midpoint is: (-2.5,3.5)

graphing the two points, midpoint and distance

p1 (6,3)

p2 (-11,4)

midpoint (-2.5,3.5)

the length of the black line is the distance between the points (17.0293863659264)

find the slope of the line connecting the two points

slope =   (y2-y1)   =   (4-3)   =   (1)   = -0.0588235294117647

(x2-x1) (-11-6) (-17)

find the equation of the line passing through the two points

the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line which we found in the previous step to be -0.0588235294117647

y = -0.06x + b

we substitute x and y for the values from one of our points (6,3)

3 = -.06×6 + b

3 = -0.35 + b

3--0.35 = b

3.35 = b

knowing both b and m, we can contruct the equation of the line

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

x and y intercepts

the x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

0= -0.06x+ 3.35

0.06x= 3.35

x= 3.35/0.06 = 57.00

the x intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -0.06×0+ 3.35

y= 3.35

the y intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √   ((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2)

d = √ (-11-6)2+(4-3)2

d = √ )2+(1)2)

d = √ (289+1)

d = √ 290

the distance between the points is 17.0293863659264

the midpoint of two points is given by the formula

midpoint= ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

find the x value of the midpoint

xm=(x1+x2)/2

xm=(6+-11)/2=-2.5

find the y value of the midpoint

ym=(y1+y2)/2

ym=(3+4)/2=3.5

the midpoint is: (-2.5,3.5)

graphing the two points, midpoint and distance

p1 (6,3)

p2 (-11,4)

midpoint (-2.5,3.5)

the length of the black line is the distance between the points (17.0293863659264)

find the slope of the line connecting the two points

slope =   (y2-y1)   =   (4-3)   =   (1)   = -0.0588235294117647

(x2-x1) (-11-6) (-17)

find the equation of the line passing through the two points

the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line which we found in the previous step to be -0.0588235294117647

y = -0.06x + b

we substitute x and y for the values from one of our points (6,3)

3 = -.06×6 + b

3 = -0.35 + b

3--0.35 = b

3.35 = b

knowing both b and m, we can contruct the equation of the line

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

x and y intercepts

the x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

0= -0.06x+ 3.35

0.06x= 3.35

x= 3.35/0.06 = 57.00

the x intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -0.06×0+ 3.35

y= 3.35

the y intercept for this straight line is 57.00 and therefore the awnser is c.

wouldn't that be a) 1

4=4x then divide 4 on both sides and you get x=1
