Suppose you are a lawyer representing a Hispanic individual in a
criminal trial. Twelve jurors are randomly selected by the state
from a population that you know to be 50% Hispanic.
a. How many jurors would you expect to be Hispanic?
b. The select process produces a jury with 2 Hispanic individuals
What proportion of the jury is Hispanic? (Enter your answer as a
decimal, rounded to four decimal places)
c. Use the binomial distribution and find the probability that 2 or
fewer jurors would be Hispanic.
d. Create a graph of the distribution with the area corresponding
to the previous answer shaded in. Choices for creating a graph
include: Excel, Binomial Distribution Calculator (in resources
menu), TI-84 (take a pic), hand drawn, other software, websites.
