Question

The State Bar of California is considering changing its exam structure such that instead of 200 multiple-choice questions, there will be 180. Before making any changes permanent, they first want to collect data to compare the outcomes of the two structures. They have obtained a representative sample of 85 Law students and randomly assigned each to take either the new or old exam. The summarized sample data is given in the table below.

Curriculum N Mean SD

New 42 65.9 5.9

Old 43 63.6 3.2

Answer 1

The question is related to finding probabilities based on given information about California registered voters' opinions on a law and the Supreme Court's ruling.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is related to probability as it involves finding probabilities based on given information. The probabilities to be calculated are:

a. P(C), which represents the probability of California registered voters who supported the law. This can be calculated by dividing the number of California registered voters who supported the law by the total number of registered voters.

b. P(B), which represents the probability of California registered voters who say the Supreme Court's ruling about the law is very or somewhat important to them. This can be calculated by dividing the number of California registered voters who support the law and say the ruling is important by the total number of registered voters who support the law.
