Question:
40. The article “Statistical Evidence of Discrimination” (J.
Amer. Stat. Assoc., 1982: 773–783) discusses the court case Swain v. Alabama (1965), in which it was alleged that there was discrimination against blacks in grand jury selection.
Census data suggested that 25% of those eligible for grand jury service were black, yet a random sample of 1050 called to appear for possible duty yielded only 177 blacks. Using a level .01 test, does this data argue strongly for a conclusion of discrimination?
