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:

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.
