We must show our work process

3. Twenty percent of the population in a Southwestern community are Spanish-speaking Americans. A Spanish-speaking person is accused of killing a non-Spanish-speaking American and goes to trial. Of the first 14 potential jurors, only 4 are Spanish-speaking Americans, and 10 are not. The defendant’s lawyer challenges the jury selection, claiming bias against her client. The government lawyer disagrees, saying that the probability of this particular jury composition is common. Compute the probability and discuss the assumptions. (Hint Use Binomial Table)

            n=

            p =

            Probability of exactly 4 Spanish-speaking Americans =

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

Given that

n=14

Probability of spanish-speaking Americans,p=4/14

Probability of exactly 4 Spanish-speaking Americans=14C4*(4/14)4*(10/14)10

=0.2306

As,above probability is greater than 0.05,so probability of this particular jury composition is common.
