When investigators find a footprint at a crime scene they use some information about foot length...

When investigators find a footprint at a crime scene they use some information about foot length in order to determine the criminal’s gender. If they find a very long footprint then they may conclude that the criminal is a man. But, without other evidence, how sure can the investigator be? Suppose that the distribution of men’s foot lengths (in centimeters) is approximately N (25, 4) and the distribution of women’s foot lengths is approximately N (19, 3). Please answer the...

Crime scene investigators have determined that an acrylic spray paint (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) was used to deface the Mona Lisa. Leonardo used linseed oil. We would like a solvent that interacts more strongly with acrylic than with linseed oil. Based on their chemical structures, we can approximate the SSCED parameters of linseed oil as n-hexadecane and acrylic paint as methylethylketone. Do you recommend CHCl_3, toluene, or acetone as the solvent? Explain.

(Legal reasoning): Suppose a crime has been committed. Blood is found at the scene for which there is no innocent explanation. It is of a type which is present in 1% of the population. a. The prosecutor claims: “There is a 1% chance that the defendant would have the crime blood type if he were innocent. Thus there is a 99% chance that he is guilty”. This is known as the prosecutor’s fallacy. What is wrong with this argument? b....
