Question

You have been hired to assist in the data analysis at the court level (judge-level analysis will be done at a later time). You must use your knowledge of probability and conditional probability to help determine the likelihood of appeal and reversal for cases handled by different courts. Which outcome has the highest probability of occurring based on the data? a. A case in Domestic Relations Court being reversed b. A case in Common Pleas Court being reversed c. A case in Municipal Court being reversed d. There is not enough information to determine the answer

Answer 1

ANSWER: "There is not enough information to determine the answer". Option D is correct.

Explanation:

For a case that was ruled by a court to be reversed by a higher court, they must be conditions in the ruling of the lower court that has been reconsidered by the higher court. This is regardless of the jurisdiction of the court or judge that ruled the case.

A case from all the courts in the options can be reversed by a higher court if the courts judgement lacks merit by the higher court, at any given times, irrespective of the court.
