If 1 of the subjects is randomly selected, find the probability of selecting someone who was sentenced to prison and entered a plea of guilty.
| Guilty plea | Not guily plea | |
| Sentenced to prison: | 392 | 58 |
| Not sentenced to prison | 564 | 14 |
Solution
14 578
a) if one person is selected we have to find the probability of that he must not be sentenced to prison and did not enter plea of guilty.
probability not sentence to prison = 564/1028
probability of not guilty plea = 14/1028
required answer = the common of both as we have to find the non guilty plea with no prison hence answer = 14/1028
b) one person with sentence to prison probability = 392/1028
proability person entered a plea of guilty = 956/1028
required answer will be the common of both as we have to find both qualities in one hence the answer will be 392/1028
| Guilty plea | Not guily plea total | |
| Sentenced to prison: | 392 | 58 450 |
| Not sentenced to prison | 564 | 14 578 |
