A court holds jurisdiction over five counties, and the juries are required to be made up in a representative manner from the eligible populations of these five counties. An investigator notices that the county where she lives has 14% of the total population of the five counties eligible for jury duty, yet records reveal that over the past five years only 122 out of the 1386 jurors used by the court reside in her county. Run a hypothesis test to determine if this constitutes reasonable evidence that the jurors are not being randomly selected from the total population. What is the p-value of the test?
