Question:
To study people's ability to deceive lie detectors researchers sometimes use the "guilty knowledge' technique. Certain subjects memorize six common word other subjects memorize no words. Each subject is the tested on a polygraph machine (lie detector), as following the experimenter reads, in random order, 24 words: the; six "critical" words (the memorized list) and, for each critical word, three "control" words with similar or related meanings. If the subject has memorized the six words, he or she tries to conceal that fact. The subject is scored a "failure" on a critical word if his or her electro-derma response is higher on the critical word than on any of the three control words. Thus, on each of the six critical words even an innocent subject would have a 25% chance of failing. Suppose a subject is labeled "guilty" if the subject fails on four or more of the six critical words. If an innocent subject is tested, what is the probability that he or she will be labeled "guilty"?

Please accept my enthusiastic application to solutioninn. I would love the opportunity to be a hardworking, passionate member of your tutoring program. As soon as I read the description of the program, I knew I was a well-qualified candidate for the position.
I have extensive tutoring experience in a variety of fields. I have tutored in English as well as Calculus. I have helped students learn to analyze literature, write essays, understand historical events, and graph parabolas. Your program requires that tutors be able to assist students in multiple subjects, and my experience would allow me to do just that.
You also state in your job posting that you require tutors that can work with students of all ages. As a summer camp counselor, I have experience working with preschool and kindergarten-age students. I have also tutored middle school students in reading, as well as college and high school students. Through these tutoring and counseling positions, I have learned how to best teach each age group.
