Many people believe that criminals who plead guilty tend to get
lighter sentences than those who are convicted in trials. The
accompanying table summarizes randomly selected sample data for
defendants in burglary cases. All of the subjects had prior prison
sentences. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the
sentence​ (sent to prison or not sent to​ prison) is independent of
the plea. If you were an attorney defending a guilty​ defendant,
would these results suggest that you should encourage a guilty​
plea?
Determine the test statistics
x2=_____(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Determine the P-value of the test statistic.
P-Value=___ (Round to three decimal places as needed)
what is the conclusion?
