Question

Suppose you wanted to evaluate the performance of the three judges in Smallville, Texas: Judge Adams, Judge Brown, and Judge Carter. Over a three-year period in Smallville, Judge Adams saw 26% of the cases, Judge Brown saw 33% of the cases, and Judge Carter saw the remainder of the cases. 3% of Judge Adams’ cases were appealed, 6% of Judge Brown’s cases were appealed, and 9% of Judge Carter’s cases were appealed. (See the case problem on pages 216-218 of your textbook for a similar problem.) Given the judge in a case from this three-year period was not Judge Carter, what is the probability the case was not appealed?
