Statistics Canada provides data on the number of cases in adult criminal court by type of sentence: “fine,” “restitution,” and “other.” In a recent year, the probability that property crime cases in Canada resulted in a sentence of “restitution” (as opposed to other sentences) was 0.154.

b) State your assumptions about Manitoba clearly.

c) Suppose that two cases did in fact result in a sentence of restitution last week. What conclusion do you draw about Manitoba last week?
