80.  In the North American court system, a defendant is assumed innocent until proven guilty.  In an ideal world, we would expect that the truly innocent will always go free, whereas the truly guilty ones will always be convicted.  Now, let us tackle the following questions?In the context of the Type I error and Type II error, can you relate a court trial scenario in terms of these two errors?What would be your ideal situation if you are the defendant?What would be your ideal situation if you are the prosecuting attorney?Lastly, what do you think of the scenario of an ideal world where we expect that no innocent will be found guilty and all guilty will be convicted in the context of Type I error and Type II error?

85.  My younger brother had a run in earlier with Médecins Sans Frontières.  He narrowly escaped from an adverse verdict by the court……..  What he wants is that he be left alone to run his small café……

    He asked my oldest brother if he can conduct a survey for him about justice in the Kangaroo Court.  Oooops, I mean the Canadian Court…….

    An initial survey was performed right after Médecins Sans Frontières accused my brother of wrong doing.  Of 1852 customers, 53 were against the aggressive tactics of Médecins Sans Frontières.  After my brother was cleared by the court, a follow-up survey was performed.  Of 4699 customers, 1751 said they did not agree with the aggressive tactics of Médecins Sans Frontières.

     At the 1% significance level, do the data suggest that a higher percentage of customers were against Médecins Sans Frontières after the court case?
