Step 1
The total number of ways to select 3 jurors from a pool of 6 Hispanics, 6 Caucasians, and 7 African-Americans is given by the combination formula: C(6+6+7, 3) = C(19, 3) = 19! / (3! * (19-3)!) = 19! / (3! * 16!) = (19 * 18 * 17) / (3 * 2 * 1) = 969. Show more…

Assume that 12 jurors are randomly selected from a population in which 77% of the people are Mexican-Americans. Refer to the probability distribution table below and find the indicated probabilities. Find the probability of exactly 5 Mexican-Americans among 12 jurors. Round your answer to four decimal places. P(x = 5) = Find the probability of 5 or fewer Mexican-Americans among 12 jurors. Round your answer to four decimal places. P(x ≤ 5) = Does 5 Mexican-Americans among 12 jurors suggest that the selection process discriminates against Mexican-Americans? no yes
