Answer:well, the question is not complete, but according to my findings, the activity is all about forensic science; the use of polygraph test. The activity can be found in chapter 10, Pressbook.bccampus.ca

Step-by-step explanation:

Forensic science is the use of science for Investigations in criminal laws,and sometimes in civil laws. One of the things that can be use is the polygraph, which is also known as the lie detector. The polygraph or lie detector main goal is to detect lie by measuring the blood pressure, skin conductivity and Respiration during the test exercise.

There are ways to pass the polygraph test,even if someone is not telling the truth. Nonetheless, the polygraph test is has proved itself efficient in many cases. According to many experts, the polygraph is not 100 percent efficient but, there are possibilities of it being 90 percent efficient.

===> CONCLUSION: Many experts failed to identify a guilty suspect 20-25 Percent (mostly 24 Percent) of the time.
