Question

One study of grand juries in Alameda County, California, compared the demographic characteristics of jurors with the general population, to see if the jury panels were representative.8 The results for age are shown below. The investigators wanted to know whether these 66 jurors were selected at random from the population of Alameda County. (Only persons 21 and over are considered; the county age distribution is known from Public Health Department data.)

Note: ANSWER EACH PART OF QUFill out the last column below. All of your answers hould be accurate to the tenth digit, for example 4.8. 

 

Age County-wide percentage number of jurors expected number of jurors

21 to 40

42 5 [A]

41 to 50

23 9 [B]

51 to 60

16 19 [C]

61 and over

19 33 [D]

total

100 66  

 

The value of χ2 is [E]. Your answer should be an integer with no decimals. 

The degrees of freedom is [F]

Check that the p-value is essentially zero from the table. 

 

(True or False) With simple random sampling, it is almost impossible for a jury to differ this much from the county age distribution. The inference is that grand juries are not selected at random. Write true or false. [G]
