Question

In a 6-member civil court jury selected from a pool of 6 men and 12 women:
a) Find the probability of selecting more than 2 women on jury?
b) What is the expected number of women on the jury?

Answer 1

Number of ways of selecting 5 women jurors (and 7 men) = 5C5 * 10C7 ... 6. We have a pool of 10 men and 5 women. We need a jury of 12 people .... jury. Find the probability for each and add them up.
