orneys often use lie detectors to test if a suspect is speaking the truth or not. It is found that the lie detector gives a positive result 64% of the time. The suspect is found to lie for 81% of the positive results and 15% of the negative results. a. If a suspect is actually lying, what is the probability that the lie detector gives a positive test result? b. If the suspect is not lying, what is the probability that the lie detector gives a negative result? Note:Answer in exact fraction, or rounded to at least 4 deci
