For some civil cases, at least 9 of

12 jurors must agree on a verdict.
How many combinations of 9
jurors are possible on a 12-
person jury?

Using the combination formula:

n! / (r!(n-r)!)

Where n is the number of people = 12 and r is the number of jurors = 9.

12! / (9!(12-9)!) = 220 combinations.
