In a major city, between 2012 and 2017, the police made 300,000 (what are called) investigatory stops. If 70% of the residents of the city are black and 10% of the population of the city are involved in the stops, in a fair system of justice, what is the expected probability of black people being stopped by police? Show the math formula that applies, the math plug-ins, and answer.
