Explanation / Answer

2) The substantial evidence test is used by courts to review formal rule making of an administrative agency and to review a formal adjudication.

De Novo : Reviewing court makes an independent determination of facts after conducting a review hearing.

Preponderance of evidence where there is just enough evidence to tip the balance, to proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

5) The standard of review most deferential to the findings of an administrative agency is arbitrary and capricious.

Clear and convincing means that the evidence presented by a party during the trial must be highly and substantial more probably be true than not and the trier of the fact must have a firm belief or conviction in its factuality.
