### How to calculate the diversity index, the probability that two people chosen at random are of different races or ethnicities?The United States Census Bureau started releasing the results of the latest census. Among many other pieces of information, the bureau recoded the race or ethnicity of the residents of every county in every state. From these results the bureau calculated a 'diversity index,' which measures the probability that two people chosen at random are of different races or ethnicities. The census determined that in a county in Wisconsin, 83% of its residents are white, 8% are black, and 9% are Asian. Calculate the diversity index for this county.

### The article “Statistical evidence of discrimination” (J. Ameri. Stat. Assoc., 1982, 773-83) discussed the court case of 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 individuals called to appear for possible duty yielded only 177 blacks. Given this observation the court believed that there wasn’t enough evidence to establish a prima facie (without further evidence) case. Would you agree with the court’s decision?
