The racial-ethnic composition of the community is 50% white, 30% black and 20% latino. What is the probability that:
a. the chair is a white resident? ::: 0.5
---------------------------------------------
b. the chair is a black resident? ::: 0.3
---------------------------------------------
c. the chair is white or Latino? ::: 0.5+0.2 = 0.7
---------------------------------------------
d. all three commission members are black? ::: (0.3)^3 = 0.027
--------------------------------
