Apolygraph (lie detector) is an instrument used to determine if the individual is telling the truth. these tests are considered to be 95% reliable. in other words, if an individual lies, there is a 0.95 probability that the test will detect a lie. let there also be a 0.005 probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth. consider the null hypothesis, "the individual is telling the truth," to answer the following questions. a. what is the probability of type i error? b. what is the probability of type ii error? c. discuss the consequences of type i and type ii errors. d. what is wrong with the statement, "i can prove that the individual is telling the truth on the basis of the polygraph result."

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average

Arandom sample of 15 observations is used to estimate the population mean. the sample mean and the standard deviation are calculated as 172 and 63, respectively. assume that the population is normally distributed. a. with 99 confidence, what is the margin of error for the estimation of the population mean? b. construct the 99% confidence interval for the population mean. c. construct the 95% confidence interval for the population mean. d. construct the 83% confidence interval for the population mean. hint: you need to use excel function =t. inv.2t to find the value of t for the interval calculation.
