Assume that a venire is 90% white and 10%
black. Assuming no racial bias in the selection process, how
would the likelihood of having at least one black juror on a 6-person
jury compare to the likelihood of having at least one black juror on a
12-person jury? (A) about 10% more likely on 12-person jury (B) about 20% more likely on 12-person jury (C) about 30% more likely on 12-person jury (D) about 50% more likely on 12-person jury (E) about twice as likely on 12-person jury Answer = (D) 47% probability on 6-person jury, 72% on 12-person jury. |
