Abstract

This chapter discusses two tests that use Probability to determine the exact likelihood of the occurrence of an event. The two research questions are as follows: (1) In terms of status, is there a difference between those who make less than $15,000 a year compared to those who make more than $15,000 a year? (2) Is the Probability of someone violating their parole after initially being compliant any different than someone becoming compliant after they initially violated their parole? The first research question is addressed using Fisher’s Exact Probability, and the second research question is addressed using McNemar Change Test. The team gets an ominous phone call from the Greenleaf’s right-hand woman.
