Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(56\%\) of the cases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P(\text{agree}) = P(\text{truth}_1)P(\text{truth}_2) + P(\text{lie}_1)P(\text{lie}_2) \) \( P(\text{agree}) = (0.6)(0.8) + (1-0.6)(1-0.8) \) \( P(\text{agree}) = 0.48 + (0.4)(0.2) \) \( P(\text{agree}) = 0.48 + 0.08 \) \( P(\text{agree}) = 0.56 = 56 \\% \)
