Thirteen jurors are randomly selected from a population of 5 million residents. Of these 5 million residents, it is known that 48% are of a minority race. Of the 13 jurors selected, 2 are minorities.
(a) What proportion of the jury described is from a minority race?
(b) If 13 jurors are randomly selected from a population where 48% are minorities, what is the probability that 2 or fewer jurors will be minorities?
(c) What might the lawyer of a defendant from this minority race argue?
