The article "Statistical Evidence of Discrimination" (Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1982, pp.773-783) reported that, prior to 1965 in a southern state, 25% of those eligible to serve on a grand jury were black, and that in a random sample of 1050 individuals who were called to serve on grand juries, 177 were black.

(a)Compute the maximum likelihood estimate of the probability a person selected for jury service was black.

(b)Test the hypothesis that blacks were discriminated against in grand jury selection, at the a=0.05 level.
