Question

Hamilton County judges try thousands of cases per year In an overwhelming majority of the cases disposed, the verdict stands as rendered. However, some cases are appealed, and of those appealed, some of the cases are reversed. Kristen DelGuzzi of the Cincinnati Enquirer conducted a study of cases handled by Hamilton County judges over a three-year period (Cincinnati Enquirer January 11, 1998). Shown in the following table are the results for 182,908 cases handled (disposed) by 38 judges in Common Pleas Court, Domestic Relations Court, and Municipal Court. Two of the judges (Dinkelacker and Hogan) did not serve in the same court for the entire three-year period The purpose of the newspaper's study was to evaluate the performance of the judges. Appeals are often the result of mistakes made by judges, and the newspaper wanted to know which judges were doing a good job and which were making too many mistakes. You have been called in to assists in the data analysis. Use your knowledge of probability and conditional probability to help with the ranking with the judges. You also may be able to analyze the likelihood of cases handled by the different courts being appealed and reversed Table 1.
