5. Nineteen people move out of a neighborhood; four are minorities. Of the nineteen, eight move onto a block with new housing, and one of these eight is a minority. How likely is it that, if there were no discrimination, less than two people out of the eight people on this new block would be minorities? If the resulting probability is less than 0.05, evidence for discrimination exists. Does such evidence exist in this case? (3)

6. There is an average of four accidents per year at a particular intersection.   What is the probability of more than one accident there next month? Hint: Use 1 month = 1/12 of a year to first get the number of accidents that are expected next month.       (3)
