Twelve jurors were randomly selected from a population of 4 million residents where 45% were minorities. Of the 12 jurors, 2 were minorities. This represents a proportion of 2/12 or 16.67% of the jury being minorities, lower than the 45% minority proportion of the overall population. If 12 jurors are randomly selected from a population where 45% are minorities, the probability that 2 or fewer jurors will be minorities is about 16.4%. A defense lawyer for a minority defendant could argue that the jury lacks adequate minority representation relative to the population.
