Question: Minorities the NAACP claimed that in Volusia County, Florida, police stopped dark-skinned drivers on I-95 who were not violating the law much more frequently than they stopped white drivers, and then they conducted searches of the cars for drugs or for large sums of money that could be related to drug sales (Source: American Journal, August 30, 1994). If police made routine stops of randomly selected motorists who were not violating a law, and if 22% of the drivers on I-95 passing through this county were dark-skinned, what is the probability that the police stopped a driver who was not violating a law but who was dark-skinned? If 39% of the motorists stopped for routine checks were dark-skinned people, did the NAACP claim seem reasonable?
