_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The data (taken from Agresti, 1996) arise from a  sample of
     juveniles convicted of felony in Florida in 1987. Matched pairs
     were formed using criteria such as age and the number of previous
     offences. For each pair, one subject was handled in the juvenile
     court and the other was transferred to the adult court. Whether or
     not the juvenile was rearrested by the end  of 1988 was then
     noted. Here the question of interest is whether the true
     proportions rearrested were identical for the adult  and juvenile
     court assignments?
