Are Mexican Americans less likely to be selected as jurors
Chapter , Problem 9.49(choose chapter or problem)
Are Mexican Americans less likely to be selected as jurors? Refer to Exercise 8.99 (page 528) concerning Castaneda v. Partida, the case where the Supreme Court review used the phrase two or three standard deviations as a criterion for statistical significance. Recall that there were 181,535 persons eligible for jury duty, of whom 143,611 were Mexican Americans. Of the 870 people selected for jury duty, 339 were Mexican Americans. We are interested in finding out if there is an association between being a Mexican American and being selected as a juror. Formulate this problem using a two-way table of counts. Construct the 2 2 table using the variables Mexican American or not and juror or not. Find the X2 statistic and its P-value. Square the z statistic that you obtained in Exercise 8.99 and verify that the result is equal to the X2 statistic.
