Thirteen jurors are randomly selected from a population
of 5 million residents. Of
these 5 million​ residents, it is known
that 45​% are of a minority race. Of
the 13 jurors​selected, 2 are minorities.
​(a) What proportion of the jury described is from a
minority​ race?
​(b) If 13 jurors are randomly selected from a
population where 45​% are​ minorities, what is the
probability that 2 or fewer jurors will
be​ minorities?
​(c) What might the lawyer of a defendant from this minority
race​ argue?
