Twelve jurors are randomly selected from a population of 3 million residents. Of these 3 million residents, it is known that 49% are of a minority race. Of the 12 jurors selected, 2 are minorities. (a) What proportion of the jury described is from a minority race? (b) If 12 jurors are randomly selected from a population where 49% 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?

In a survey of consumers aged 12 and older, respondents were asked how many cell phones were in use by the household. (No two respondents were from the same household.) Among the respondents, 211answered "none,"289 said "one," 373 said "two," 143 said "three," and 138 responded with four or more. A survey respondent is selected at random.
