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?
(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
(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
