An article states that false-positives in polygraph tests (tests in which an individual fails even though he or she is telling the truth) are relatively common and occur about 20% of the time. Suppose that such a test is given to 10 trustworthy individuals. (Round all answers to four decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that all 10 pass? P(X = 10) = (b) What is the probability that more than 2 fail, even though all are trustworthy? P(more than 2 fail, even though all are trustworthy) = (c) The article indicated that 500 FBI agents were required to take a polygraph test. Consider the random variable x = number of the 500 tested who fail. If all 500 agents tested are trustworthy, what are the mean and standard deviation of x? Mean = Standard deviation =

It was found that 70% of cars in a city are sedan and 65% of cars are white in colour. The probability that a car is a sedan, given that it is white in colour, is 60%.

Before 1918, approximately 55% of the wolves in a region were male, and 45% were female. However, cattle ranchers in this area have made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 to the present, approximately 65% of wolves in the region are male, and 35% are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than females to return to an area where the population has been greatly reduced. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
