The following table describes the probability distribution of the number of
Mexican-Americans serving on a 12-member jury in Hidalgo County, Texas.
Assuming we repeat the random selection process for the 12 jurors and count the
number of Mexican-Americans each time, calculate the mean number of
Mexican-Americans (out of 12), the variance, and the standard deviation. Use these
results and the interval rule of thumb to calculate the highest common value and the
lowest common value. Based on the results, determine whether a jury consisting of 7
Mexican-Americans out of 12 jurors is common or uncommon.
Probability distribution: probabilities of
numbers of Mexican-Americans on a
12-member jury, assuming the
members are randomly selected from
a population in which 80% of the
inhabitants are Mexican-American
