Answer:
0.8331 or 83.31%
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the journal article:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}Plea&Guilty&Not\ Guilty\\Sentenced&193&85\\Not \ Sentenced&456&147\end{array}[/tex]
There were 881 total subjects.
The number of subjects that were sentenced to prison or entered a plea of guilty is:
[tex]N(S\ or\ G) = N(S) + N(G) - N(S\cap G)\\N(S\ or\ G) = (193+85) + (193+456) - 193\\N(S\ or\ G) = 734[/tex]
The probability of selecting someone who was sentenced to prison or entered a plea of guilty is:
[tex]P = \frac{734}{881}=0.8331 =83.31\%[/tex]
