  1. If we were to randomly choose 150 people for a survey, what is the probability that less than 70 of them would be white (round to 3 decimal places)?  Would this be unusual? If so, give some reasons why a particular sample might have less than 70 whites. 

    How many Asian people should we expect to have in a randomly selected group of 150 people?
