are more likely to stay straight than other ex-convicts". In a study of 600 inmates released
from death row and now on parole, 80 percent remain free and fewer than 1 percent have
been convicted of another homicide.

an equal chance of appearing in the sample. Thus, we cannot confidently accept the
conclusion.)
