Answer:

(a) all men = 3.6351 * 10^ -7

(b) all women = 2.3483* 10^ -4

(c) 8 men and 4 women = 0.0308

(d) 6 men and 6 women= 0.2170

Step-by-step explanation:

A jury pool has 15 men and 21 women, from which 12 jurors will be selected.

Total = 36 people

Probability of

(a) all men

= 15C12/36C12

= 455/1251677700

= 3.6351 * 10^ -7

(b) all women

= 21C12/36C12

= 293930/1251677700

= 2.3483* 10^ -4

(c) 8 men and 4 women

=( 15C8 * 21C4)/36C12

= (6435*5985)/1251677700

= 38513475/1251677700

= 0.0308

(d) 6 men and 6 women

= (15C6 * 21C6)/(36C12)

= (5005*54264)/1251677700

= 271591320/1251677700

= 0.2170
