Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates' initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.

From the South University Online Library, read the following article:

Explicit Alternative Testing: Application of the Binomial Probability Distribution to Clinical-Forensic Evaluations (Also available as a PDF)
Note: If you are using Internet Explorer, please use the second link above, "Also available as a PDF," to download the PDF.

On the basis of your reading, respond to the following questions:

Question 1: The authors of the article identify several examples of how the binomial distribution can be used in the criminal justice system. Select one of the four examples and describe how the binomial probability distribution was used in this real-world situation.

Question 2: What evidence do the authors provide that suspect MT was actually innocent? How did the binomial distribution predict his eventual release?

Question 3: The authors created a series of "yes/no" or "true/false" questionnaires to deliver to potential suspects. How could you apply this technique to your proposed research study? Would a binomial distribution be appropriate to your topic and your approach?
