Answer:

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

1/8

Your answer would be 1/8.

The probability for getting a tail one time would be 1/2 because there are only 2 sides of a coin. Since tossing one coin doesn't affect the outcome of tossing the other coins, the probability for getting a tail on all of the coins is 1/2 each. We want this to happen 3 times, so the answer would be 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/8.

I hope this helps!

Twelve jurors are randomly selected from a population of 4 million residents. Of these 4 million​ residents, it is known that 46

Answer:  a) 0.17, b) 0.0363

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of jurors selected = 12

Number of minorities of jurors = 2

​(a) What proportion of the jury described is from a minority​ race? ​

\dfrac{2}{12}=\dfrac{1}{6}=0.166666\approx0.17

(b) If 12 jurors are randomly selected from a population where 46​% are​ minorities, what is the probability that 2 or fewer jurors will be​ minorities?

Let X be the number of jurors who are minorities.

Probability of getting minorities = 0.46

Probability of getting no minorities = 1-0.46 =0.54

P(X\leq 2)=^{12}C_0(0.54)^{12}+^{12}C_1(0.46)(0.54)^{11}+^{12}C_2(0.46)^2(0.54)^{10}\\\\P(X\leq 2)=0.0363

(c) What might the lawyer of a defendant from this minority race​ argue?

Since the number of minorities juror are high among the population.

Hence, a) 0.17, b) 0.0363
