Answer:
0.944
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, are you sure the datas are alright? We have a count of 1054 defendants while adding up all these numbers.
Assuming the datas are true, out of the 1054 defendants:
- 399 are sent to prison and guilty
- 567+29 = 596 aren't sent to prison.
Since we are looking for the probability that a randomly selected defendant either pled guilty or was not sent in prison, it means we have
[tex] \frac{399+596}{1054} = \frac{995}{1054} = 0.944[/tex]
(rounded to three decimal places).
