Innocent until proven guilty? In Japanese criminal trials, about 95% of the defendants are found guilty. In the United States, a

bout 60% of the defendants are found guilty in criminal trials†. Suppose you are a news reporter following ten criminal trials. (a) If the trials were in Japan, what is the probability that all the defendants would be found guilty?

Answer:

The probability that all the defendants would be found guilty is 60% (P=0.5987).

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this as a binomial distribution problem.

In Japan 95% of the defendants are found guilty, so there is a probability of 5% of being found innocent.

We can calculate the probability of having none of them found innocent as:

P(I=k)=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}*p^k*(1-p)^{n-k} \\\\P(I=0)=\frac{10!}{0!10!}*0.05^0*0.95^{10}\\\\P(I=0)=1*1*0.5987\\\\P(I=0)=0.5987

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be modeled with the Binomial Distribution which gives the probability of an event that occurs exactly k times out of n, and is given by

\large P(k;n)=\binom{n}{k}p^kq^{n-k}

where  

\large \binom{n}{k}= combination of n elements taken k at a time.

<em>p = probability that the event (“success”) occurs once </em>

<em>q = 1-p </em>

<em>In this case, the event “success” is finding a defendant guilty (in Japan) with probability 95% = 0.95 (9.5 out of 10) and n=10 criminal trials randomly chosen. </em>

“If the trials were in Japan, what is the probability that all the defendants would be found guilty?”

Since P(0;10) is the likelihood that none of the defendants is found guilty, we want the complement 1-P(0;10)

but  

\large P(0;10)=0.05^{10}=9.7656*10^{-14}  

that for practical effects, can be considered equals 0, so the probability that all the defendants will be found guilty in 10 cases in Japan is practically 1.

Solve the system of equations. 4x + 2y = –14 6x + 3y = –22 (0, –7), (–1, –6), no solutions, infinitely many solutions. Plz and T
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2y = –14

6x + 3y = –22

Divide the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3

4x/2 + 2y/2 = –14/2     2x +y = -7

6x/3 + 3y/3 = –22/3    2x + y = -22/3

The left hand sides are the same but the right hand sides are different.

Multiply the second equation by -1

2x+y = -7

-2x -y = 22/3

-------------------

0 = -7+22/3

0 = 1/3

This is never true, so there are no solutions

Show how Carly can work out 171/2% of 240 in her head
KATRIN_1 [288]

17 ½ % of 240

First option

Change  the fraction ½ to a decimal. It would be 0.5 ( 1 divided by 2)

½=0.5

You will add the whole number 17 to the result.

17 + 05 = 17.5

Now you will divide by 100 (percent)

17.5 /100  To divide a decimal by 100,  move the decimal point two places to the left.

17.5 /100 = 0.175   times 240

0.175 x 240 = 42

Second option

Change the percent to an improper fraction

17 ½= 35/2 (you have to multiply (2 x 17) plus 1 equals 35 over 2 ( keep the denominator). It will be 35/2.  Put the other number (240) over 100 and multiply.

35/2 x 240/100 = 42

There is another way . You can simplify

Cancel all the zeros that you have and start to reduce.

            6

7       12

35 x 24<span> 0   </span> =  42

2       10 0

 1          5

           1

17 ½ % of 240  =  42
