7. In the classic legal case of Whitus v. Georgia, a jury pool of 90 people was supposed to be randomly selected from a population in which 27% were minorities. Among the 90 people selected, 7 were minorities.
(a) Can we use a normal approximation to find the approximate probability of getting 7 or fewer minorities if the jury pool was randomly selected? If so, find it.
(b) What does the result suggest about the jury selection process?
