the following questions. Express the probability as a with four digits after the decimal point. Show 2. (20 pts.) Use the data in the accompanying table to an Plea Plea of Not Guilty 364 578 62 24 Sentenced to Prison Not Sentenced to Prison a) If one of the 1028 subjects is randomly selected, find the probability of selecting someone sentenced to prison. b) Find the probability of being sentenced to prison, given that the subject entered a plea of guilty. c) Find the probability of being sentenced to prison, given that the subject entered a plea of not guilty you conclude of wisdom of entering a guilty plea? d) After comparing the results of questions b and c, what do e) If I of the subjects is randomly selected, find the probability of selecting someone who was sentenced to prison or entered a plea of guilty. 1) If 2 different subjects are randomly selected, find the probability that they both were sentenced to prison.Explanation / Answer
(a) P(sentenced to prison) = (364+62)/1028 = 0.4144
(b) P(sentenced to prison given that subject entered a plea of guilty) = P(Sentenced to prison and guilty plea)/P(guilty plea)
P(Sentenced to prison and guilty plea) = 364/1028
P(guilty plea)) = 942/1028
Required probability = 364/942=0.3864
(c) P(sentenced to prison given that subject entered a plea of not guilty) = 62/86 = 0.7209
(d) the probaility Wisdom entering a plea when non guilty is high compared to the plea when he is guilty
