Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

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.
