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.
