Answer:
Option A (0.1135,0.028)
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of white defendants who got death penalty = 53
Number of Black defendants who got death penalty = 4
Total Penalty for white defendants = 53 + 414 = 197
Total Penalty for Black defendants = 4 + 139 = 14
First we will calculate the proportion of white defendants that got the death penalty
=Number of white defendants who got death penalty / total penalty
= (53)/(197)
= 0.1135
Black defendants that got the death penalty
= Number of Black defendants who got death penalty/ total penalty
= (4)/(143)
= 0.028
Therefore<u> Option A</u> is the correct answer.
