3. At the time of the Avery case, there were 165,814 African-Americans in the Fulton County population of 691,797. Suppose that a 12-member jury is randomly selected from population of Fulton County. a. What is the probability that the first juror selected is African-American? Is it reasonable to use this same probability for each trial? Explain why or why not. b. Complete this probability distribution table for the number of African-Americans on a jury that really was randomly selected from the population of Fulton County. Number of African- Americans, x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Total Probability, Pix) c. What is the expected number of African-Americans who would be on a jury of 12 people selected at random from the population of Fulton County?
