b. This experiment was done in the hope of showing that Scared Straight would cause a lower arrest rate. Did the study show?that? Explain.

The idea of sending delinquents to "Scared Straight" programs has appeared recently in several media programs. In a 1983 study, each male delinquent in the study (all aged 14-18) was randomly assigned to either Scared Straight or no treatment. The males who were assigned to Scared Straight went to a prison, where they heard prisoners talk about their bad experiences there. Then the males in both the experimental and the control group were observed for 12 months to see whether they were rearrested. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. g Click the icon to View the results of the Scared Straight study. a. Report the rearrest rate for the Scared Straight group and for the No Treatment group, and state which is higher. The rearrest rate for the Scared Straight group is 81.1 %. The rearrest rate for the No Treatment group is 67.3 %. The rearrest rate for the Scared Straight group is higher than the rearrest rate of the No Treatment group. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. This experiment was done in the hope of showing that Scared Straight would cause a lower arrest rate. Did the study show that? Explain. O A. Yes. The study does show that Scared Straight causes a lower arrest rate because the rearrest rate in the Scared Straight group was lower than in the No Treatment group. O B. No. The study does not show that Scared Straight causes a lower arrest rate, because the rearrest rates for both groups were roughly equal. 0 C. Yes. The study does show that Scared Straight causes a lower arrest rate because the number of males rearrested in the Scared Straight group was lower than those in the No Treatment group. O D. No. The study does not show that Scared Straight causes a lower arrest rate, because the rearrest rate in the Scared Straight group was higher than in the No Treatment group
