Twelve jurors are randomly selected from a population of 4 million residents. of these 4 million residents, it is known that 46% are of a minority race. of the 12 jurors selected, 2 are minorities.
(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?
(c) what might the lawyer of a defendant from this minority race argue?

 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
