"C:Explanation:Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a stage at which the judge is very sure that an offense was actually committed by an accused ,based on solid evidences. A reasonable doubt level is the stage in prosecution where the prosecutor is not able to establish with facts that an accuse is guilty. So to be declared guilty , the prosecutor should go beyond this stage with enough evidences to proof his case.The due process ensures that an accuse in not convicted unless this stage is achieved.

Step-by-step explanation:Hello!a. In the American justice system, a defendant is always "innocent until proven guilty." Suppose you are the prosecutor in a trial. What would your null and alternative hypotheses be in this case? State them in words (there are no numerical values here!).H₀: the defendant is innocent.H₁: the defendant is guilty.In the null hypothesis, it is always stated the "no change" premise*, that is why it always carries the = sign. *For example Presumably known information about the population of study that is accepted until finding statistical evidence that proves it to be false.b. The two possible verdicts that a jury can return are "guilty" and "not guilty." How do these decisions correspond to the two possible decisions in hypothesis testing?There are two possible decisions that can be made when conducting a hypothesis analysis:To reject the null hypothesis: this is equal to the jury finding the defendant guilty.To not reject the null hypothesis: This is equal to the jury finding the defendant not guilty.c. If an innocent person has been found guilty, what type of hypothesis testing error has been made?If the person is "innocent" that means the null hypothesis is true.Finding the person "guilty" means that the null hypothesis was rejected.Rejecting a true null hypothesis is a Type I error.d. If a guilty person is found not guilty in his/her trial, what type of hypothesis testing error has been made?If the person is "guilty" that means the null hypothesis is false.Finding the person "not guilty" is equal to not rejecting the null hypothesis.Not rejecting a false null hypothesis is a Type II error.e. In the justice system and statistics, there is no possibility of absolute proof, and so a standard has to be set for rejecting the null hypothesis. In the justice system, the standard is "a reasonable doubt." The null hypothesis has to be rejected beyond a reasonable doubt. In statistics, the standard is the maximum acceptable probability of incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis. What is the name of this element in a statistical hypothesis test?The name of this statistical element is "Significance level" symbolized α and it is the probability of committing a Type I error.I hope it helps!

JUDGE is heard. JUDGE's VOICE . . . and that concludes the court's explanation of the legal aspects of this case. And now, gentlemen of the jury, I come to my final instruction to you. Murder in the first degree-premeditated homicide-is the most serious charge tried in our criminal courts. You've listenedto the testimony.
