Assume that 12 jurors are randomly selected from a population in which 82% of the people are Mexican- Americans. Refer to the probability distribution table below and find the indicated probabilities. P(x) 0+ 1 0+ 0+ 3 4 0.0002 0.0018 6 0.0096 7 0.0373 8 0.1062 9. 0.2151 10 0.2939 11 0.2434 12 0.0924 Find the probability of exactly 5 Mexican-Americans among 12 jurors. Round your answer to four decimal places. P(x = 5) Find the probability of 5 or fewer Mexican-Americans among 12 jurors. Round your answer to four decimal places. P(x < 5) Does 5 Mexican-Americans among 12 jurors suggest that the selection process discriminates against Mexican-Americans?
