You would have $8,000 that would need to be paid off so your answer would be around 330...

Solution:

Number of Applicants which are trustworthy= 95%

Applicants which are not trustworthy=5%

The polygraph detects the lie with probability= 65%

Probability that the statement is true, but polygraph says it's not true= 15%

Probability that a job applicant rejected under suspicion of dishonesty was actually trustworthy=Number of Applicants which are trustworthy × Probability that the statement is true, but polygraph says it's not true

$=\frac{95\times15}{100 \times 100}\\\\= \frac{1425}{10000}\\\\=0.1425$
