Sociology: Criminal Justice Courts sometimes make
Chapter , Problem 7(choose chapter or problem)
Sociology: Criminal Justice Courts sometimes make mistakes, but which do you believe is the worse mistake: convicting an innocent person or letting a guilty person go free? It turns out that about 60% of all Americans believe that convicting an innocent person is the worse mistake. (Source: American Attitudes by S. Mitchell, Sociology Department, Ithaca College.) Suppose you are taking a sociology class with 30 students enrolled. The question discussed today is: Do you agree with the statement that convicting an innocent person is worse than letting the guilty go free? What is the probability that the proportion of the class who agree is (a) at least one half? (b) at least two thirds? (c) no more than one third? (d) Is the normal approximation to the proportion p r/n valid? Explain.
