you will need to use the 'real' data that I provide at the end of the Chapter 7 PowerPoint Lecture. This research investigated the question: Is their implicit/explicit racism in sentencing people found guilty of murder. The researchers sampled 667 people that were found guilty of murder. They then divided them into two racial categories (Black versus non-Black) and two types of sentences (Death versus non-death). If their is no racism in sentencing then the probability of being sentenced to death should be the same regardless of racial category. But, the sticky wicket is how do we know which probability to calculate (simple, conditional, joint)? For your Forum, you need to decide which probabilities to compare and decide whether this data is consistent with implicit/explicit racism biasing sentencing (5 points)
