Question 5 Consider all courtroom trials with a single defendant who is charged with a felony. Suppose that you are given the following probabilities for this situation. 75% percent of the defendants are, in fact, guilty. Given that the defendant is guilty, there is a 70 percent chance the jury will convict the person. Given that the defendant is not guilty, there is a 40 percent chance the jury will convict he person. For simplicity, assume that the only options available to the jury are: to convict or to release the defendant. Given that the ury makes an incorrect decision, what is the probability that the decision is to release a guilty person?
