Racial and ethnic minorities now account for 43% of Americans under 20.
a. What is the expected number of under-20 whites in a random sample of 5,000 Americans? What is the corresponding standard deviation?
b. What is the expected number of racial and ethnic minorities in a random sample of 5,000 under-20 Americans? What is the corresponding standard deviation?
